Two pillars of light will rise from Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, through Sept. 12, from 8 p.m. to midnight.

The Honor Summit rises the top of Mt. Washington as a symbol of resilience, gratitude, and unity. The lights illuminate the sky four and a half miles above Mount Washington, and will be visible from communities throughout New Hampshire and beyond on clear nights. Web cams are keeping watch of the Honor Summit.

Inspired by the dual beams that honor September 11, the Honor Summit pays tribute to the lives lost, the first responders who answered the call, and the veterans whose courage continues to protect communities.
