29. The Cog Railway

What an amazing adventure up The Cog Railway we had!  Join us as we tell you about how we ended up being invited to share our experience with all of you.  This locomotive has been taking people to the summit of the highest mountain in the northeast since 1869!  It has grades as steep as 38% which makes it the 2nd steepest railway in the world.  

This is an excellent way to see the summit of Mount Washington without putting in the hard work of hiking it.  The Cog is near the Omni Mount Washington Hotel, one of the originals of the 33 grand hotels spread across New Hampshire.  The hotel is iconic from the ground, but is even more impressive when you see it from the summit of the mountain.  

After the Cog, we decided to go to Bethlehem, NH to The Place Above The Notch for a coffee and snack!  It was so good!  We had a tasty lunch at Rek'lis Brewing Company.  

After lunch we headed over to Littleton to poke around.  We love that town!  Listen to this episode for more details!
