Hikers are prohibited from hitching rides from passing vehicles on the Auto Road.A hiking shuttle is available at the top to return hikers to Pinkham Notch. There are several routes to the top but the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, which leaves from Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, is the shortest and most popular.Be sure you are prepared: The Mount Washington summit hike is notoriously one of the most dangerous in the country and conditions at the top are often treacherous.Fall is perhaps the best time for hikers to visit: conditions on the trail are cooler than in summer (although the temperature falls dramatically at the top) and the rich colors of fall provide a spectacular backdrop. Hiking trails are open year-round but a winter ascent should only be tackled by very experienced climbers. The Mount Washington Auto Road is typically open from mid-May through mid-October outside of this period, guided snowcoach tours can take visitors to the summit.
