The Mount Washington Auto Road—originally the Mount Washington Carriage Road—is a 7.6-mile (12.2 km) private toll road on the east side of the mountain, rising 4,618 feet (1,408 m) from an altitude of 1,527 feet (465 m) at the bottom to 6,145 feet (1,873 m) at the top, an average gradient of 11.6%. The road was completed and opened to the ...
Mount Watson is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. [1] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean , and travel east toward the Cascade Mountains . As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain ...
With an elevation that varies from 4,000 to 8,200 feet (1,200 to 2,500 m), it is an intermediate zone between the Southern Cascades and the Subalpine/Alpine zone. Cryic soils support mixed coniferous forests dominated by mountain hemlock, lodgepole pine, and Pacific silver fir; they are colder than the mesic and frigid soils of the Southern ...

Mount Baker in Washington recorded a national record single-season snowfall in the winter of 1998–99 with 1,140 inches (2,900 cm) (= 95 feet (29 m)). [8] Before that year, Mount Rainier held the American record for snow accumulation at Paradise in 1978.
The Köppen climate classification system was modified further within the Trewartha climate classification system in 1966 (revised in 1980). The Trewartha system sought to create a more refined middle latitude climate zone, which was one of the criticisms of the Köppen system (the climate group C was too general). [10]: 200–1
