Parking… If you are staying the in the Alpine Village parking is provided for you in clearly designated lots at the top of Henry Road and across the street from the General Store off Strathcona Parkway. These lots are not for the use of guests staying in properties designated “drive-to” where ample parking is provided for all guests.
Due to the excessive snowfall Mt Washington can experience it would be wise to move your car or dig it out after a heavy snowfall to ensure it is not damaged by the snowplow.

Alternatively, you may want to check out The Sunset Café located at the base of the Red Chair or see what new secrets await you at the new Raven Lodge.
