If you go to the top via car or cog railway Tuckerman Ravine can be reached via a trailhead. The snow will persist here until late summer.
At the top of the mountain there is a weather station and snack and rest room facilities.
Also on top of the mountain is the Tip-Top house built in 1853 as a hotel. This is a state historic site that can be accessed for a fee.
