Mount Washington Hotel, 10/2019

Mount Washington Hotel is one of the remaining grand hotels, a distinctive resort in the Bretton Woods community of Carroll, New Hampshire, at the base of Mount Washington. Construction finished in 1902, and trains brought the wealthy from Boston, New York, and Portland to stay for the summer.

From our window in room 229 we saw the sun rise over the White Mountains, witnessed a rainbow form after a storm, and watched as clouds rolled over the Presidential Range. I don't know a more beautiful landscape.
