The former home of Congressman, Senator, and Secretary of War John Wingate Weeks is now a state park north of the White Mountains. Though he was from Massachusetts, He built his summer home on the summit of Prospect Mountain.

From May to October, you can drive to the summit but on this fine later winter’s day, I hiked there.

Everyone love the stone firetower at the summit near the home and carriage house. In the summer (during non-COVID times), there are tours of the home.

It looks like a great place to visit anytime! Hiking in the snow? I’ve not done that for m a n y years! Thanks, Chris, have a great weekend 😎
Thank you. I enjoy hikes in the snow. You have a great weekend also.
I’ll have to check this place out!! I just took a look at the state parks website, and the views are incredible.
I’ll post a view of it today. I highly recommend it.
Thanks, Chris!
Pictures are great! Looks a wee bit cold.
Have a great weekend, Chris!
Thank you, Nancy. By Arizona stanadrds, it was cold but I worked up a sweat hiking.
This firetower makes a beautiful watchtower, surely controlling a large landscape.
Yes, you’ll see in today’s image that you have open space between this summit and the White Mountains. Thank you.
Nice shots. Both house and tower look great!
Thank you. I’m hoping they open them up for tours this summer.
How unique and interesting. It’s worth checking out. 👀🍃
Ooh, that tower! Makes me think of the creepy one in Pullman’s fantasy novel “The Subtle Knife.” You wonder mysteries might go on there.
That sounds like a great story. I’ll have to check it out one day.
So beautiful 🌷
Thank you. It’s a pretty location.
