[11][12] Monadnock is climbed by 125,000 hikers yearly,[5] while Mount Fuji sees 200,000-300,000 hikers yearly. Mount Washington still holds the record for highest measured wind speed not associated with a tornado or tropical cyclone.[4][a]. Combien de temps vous reste-t-il ?

This program calculates the approximate walking distance in miles between two points along the Appalachian Trail. [56], The most prominent of the early experimental stations was W1XER, originally an "Apex" radio station licensed to the Yankee Network, that was moved from Boston to the mountain in 1937, and initially used to relay meteorological information from the weather observatory. In August the Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb, a bicycle race, takes place along the same route as the road race.
