CONWAY — The non-profit Mount Washington Observatory celebrated its Seek the Peak participants and the 20th anniversary of the event by raising nearly 300 story flags from the summit tower as the sun rose Monday.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the observatory’s longstanding hike-a-thon was turned into a virtual event with dedicated participants encouraged to create a Seek the Peak story flag to fly from the summit in a vibrant and inspiring commemorative display.
