Virtual Seek the Peak Hike-a-Thon – July 17 & 18

Seek the Peak 2020 Has Gone VIRTUAL – Hike-On & Seek YOUR Peak!

The COVID 19 pandemic has hit the Mount Washington Observatory financially. Many nonprofits are in similar situations, but the timing is especially critical for the Observatory.

This summer we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our Seek the Peak fundraiser. What is ordinarily a hiking extravaganza will be a virtual experience this year. Our celebration will be a collective of shared hikes online from across the nation. We rely on this event for a good part of our annual budget. The Observatory has weathered many storms in our 87 year history but this change means we need your support more than ever.

We already have participants committed to raising funds and seeking their own peak.
We are grateful for these dedicated folks.

Here’s where you come in. Contribute to a participant. Or set up a team of your own, even without hiking, and raise funds for the Observatory. Help make this the most successful year ever for Seek the Peak.

The majority of his performances are centered in the Mount Washington Valley of NH, where he makes his home.
The music is classic “songs you know by heart”, sure to stir up happy memories.

The musicians will play on the porch of the Igloo a safe distance from guests and vice versa from 5 – 8:30pm
