Maps & Directions

Basic Directions

Follow the Directions to Bretton Woods as provided by the Mt. Washington Resort, then turn off Route 302 onto the Base Road at the billboard for the Cog Railway - Mt. Washington Place is your first left, look for the entrance sign!
A few tips:

Watch for moose. Route 3 and 302 are moose territory. These animals are dark, big, and fast. Hitting one is very bad news, and not just for the moose. Drive defensively, particular in the evening hours.

Speed limits. In Franconia Notch the speed limit is 45 mph, and for good reason - narrow road + moose. In Twin Mountain the speed limit is generally 40 mph, but beware that the segment of 302 going E to Bretton Woods from the traffic light is posted at 30 mph.

Congestion. In general the drive up to Bretton Woods is really easy - all highway, fluid traffic. However, if you leave Boston on Friday in the 3-7 pm window you are asking for trouble. Expect slowdowns on 93N at the intersection with 128, at the intersection of 495, and worst as you enter New Hampshire and the highway narrows from three lanes to two. After that it's generally smooth sailing.
