The Lake of the Clouds Register is located at an elevation of 5,050 feet, on the southern shoulder of Mount Washington, NH.
The register is inside the Hut, on a shelf to protect it against the wind, rain and snow. Actually, there are many registers on that shelf, all of them filled by the visitors during the years. Everytime the hut was renovated, they kept the registers and replaced them on the shelf so you can read the comments, thinking of all people who came here during all those years.
According to the Mt Washington Observatory, Mt. Washington is reknown to have the highest all-time surface wind speed observed by man record.
"Lakes of the Clouds Hut started as a shelter built in 1901 in response to the deaths in the previous year of two hikers caught in a storm on their way to an AMC meeting atop Mount Washington. Fourteen years later it was rebuilt as a hut, and has since been renovated at least five times — in 1922, 1927, 1947, 1969 and 2005. Despite its position as the highest of the huts, it is also the most easily accessible due to its proximity to the summit of Mount Washington, accessible both by car and by the Mount Washington Cog Railway, a popular tourist attraction. It is located adjacent to its namesake Lakes of the Clouds—two small alpine tarns — and just below the 5,372 ft (1,637 m) summit of Mount Monroe." source : (
