Aerial Drone Policy

Out of concerns for the safety of our guests, employees, and resort property, Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center and the Mt. Washington Auto Road prohibits the operation or use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or aerial drones, by the general public, including recreational users and hobbyists as well as media and journalists, without prior written authorization from Auto Road management

This prohibition includes drones for filming or videotaping, as well as any other drone operations over all Auto Road properties. This prohibition on drone operations or use extends to any drones launched or operated from Auto Road property, as well as drones launched from private or public property outside of the Auto Road boundaries.

Any authorized operation of aerial drones may be governed by Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations, local law enforcement, and/or U.S. Forest Service rules, as well as those policies separately established by the Auto Road, which may include certification, training, insurance coverages, indemnification requirements, and waivers or releases of liability.

Any violation of this policy may be prosecuted and may subject violators to damages including but not limited to, damages for violations of privacy, physical or personal injuries and regulatory fines and legal fees.

Please contact Tobey Reichart, General Manager, at (603) 466-3988, if you have any questions or if you seek prior-authorization to operate any UAS and/or aerial drones.
