PINKHAM NOTCH — For over 150 years, the Mt. Washington Auto Road has guided millions of visitors to the top of the highest peak in New England, developing a culture all its own along the way. In the upcoming New Hampshire PBS documentary “Mt. Washington Auto Road to the Sky,” Auto Road employees, historians and a variety of thrill-seekers celebrate the unlikely journey of this New England icon.

To longtime Mt Washington Auto Road stage driver Rik Dow, the appeal of the Rockpile is timeless. “Once the mountain gets its hooks into you it doesn’t let go,” he says.
