Mt. Washington Photo
The air today was pretty hazy but I was able to get a decent photo of Mt. Washington from Lincoln Park in Gilford this morning. If you look closely you can see the ice-encrusted antenna tower at the top of the mountain.

Nice photo. We also were there this morning and we were wondering what could be seen to the left (north) of Washington. Might that be Clay and maybe Jefferson or just two no name lumps? Not sure of the scale here. I think that Clay is about 1 mile north by north west of Washington.

HCG, the photo was taken from the location of the push-pin on the following map, which is on Belknap Point Rd. in Gilford:

This shot is beautiful. Ever thought of taking a winter trip up there in a snow coach? When I get all my video gear up here from NJ I'm going on a major quest to shoot beautiful scenes throughout the seasons. Exciting project in the works. |

Given that Mt.Washington is just to the east of north from the lake, I think the first peak to the left of Washington would be Mt. Monroe, and the slightly lower peak left of that would be Mt. Franklin. In an arc swinging out to the north of Mt.W (starting out NNW) would be Clay, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison. I doubt any of the last four are visible from the lake, as they would be hidden by the ridge between Mt.W and Mt.Monroe on the west and the Boott Spur ridge swinging down to the south from the Mt.W summit cone and around toward the east, forming the southern boundary of the Tuckerman Ravine. All this is seen here:

DickR is correct in that Washington is just east of north looking from the lake.
It looks like Clay (5,533') would line-up almost behind Monroe (5,372') with Jefferson (5,716') slightly to the left of both. Franklin (5.001) would also be slightly left but is quite a bit lower than Jefferson. Maybe Jefferson and Monroe? I don't know. Maybe if the cob railway was billowing black smoke we could tell the smoke was in front of any the lumps to the left of Martha. As soon as the cog starts-up operation, we have another photo assignment for DRH. |

That's a beautiful shot.

By the way, the amount of open water just north of Lincoln Park is clearly visible in this photo.

It is Round, with Camp to the right to it. You can see the hill on Mark on the left with Timber in front.

Round is right...
By the way, the distance from Lincoln Park to Mt. Washington is 46.67miles. (According to Google earth)
This is a blowup part of the line that crosses right over Round. This is the entire line direct to the observatory This whole "retired thing" gives me way to much time to waste!

SteveA, yes I got essentially the same distance. The bearing was about 5.4 degrees looking in the direction the photo was taken. So if you place a line of that bearing on the detail map of the Presidential Range you can see how the peaks lineup as seen from Lincoln Park.

Mount Washington Photos
I have a bunch of photos of Mount Washington if anyone wants to peruse. I don't know what it is about that mountain and the area but I am constantly going up there and just drawn to it. They are for sale in many different varieties of printing to if you wish!
