As a thank you to our incredible owner community, we've put together a full-day guided convoy deep into New Hampshire's wilderness. We'll be cruising dirt roads and winding through the region's iconic notches, but the true pinnacle of our journey lies above the treeline: tackling the legendary Mt. Washington Auto Road. Get ready for an unforgettable, steep push to conquer the highest peak in the Northeast.
To ensure a smooth and organized drive, the convoy will roll out in two groups, each fully supported with lead and sweep vehicles. Stay with your group, follow the rig ahead of you, and take in the climb. We'll handle the navigation—you just drive.
After we summit the mountain and make our descent, we'll cap off the evening celebrating together at Basecamp Brewing in Lincoln.
Rain date: Sunday, June 14. We'll notify all registered participants by Friday morning if we need to move to Sunday.

We start and end our day at South Peak Resort in Lincoln, NH. Our route will take us south to Waterville Valley, east through Sandwich and then north across some incredible roads, including New Hampshire's highest public road, before climbing Mount Washington. We then head back home to Lincoln via the stunning Franconia Notch. You'll have a GPX file loaded into the Pathfinder on your Grenadier and a route card - but the lead truck of your group will handle all the navigation.
GPX file and detailed route information will be shared before the event.
