Whiteface Memorial Highway Toll House — Local services in Town of Wilmington

They closed early for the day for no reason. We made a special trip up here just to do this and already paid for it. We were directly told by an employee that the last car to get in was at 5:15 so we made sure to get there earlier than that to make sure we had enough time to enjoy the view at the top. We got there before 5pm, but as we pulled up to the toll station they put out a sign saying they closed for the day. Barely any explanation from the sole employee hiding by the toll station. We had to yell to her from across the way if they're closed early and they just said "too many delays" and nothing further. This is the whole reason we came up here, we drove over 2 hours. They close for the season in 2 days and having to drive over 2 hours again to just -hope- to be able to get in is ridiculous. They need to abide by their set hours. Its really unfair to close early when people make plans around their set hours and drive long distances to get here. Genuinely so disappointed. For how much they charge to get in they sure don't care if you are...

The most breathtaking view ever!! You drive up feeling like you’re going into the clouds and when you get on the mountain it is an experience like no other! The views are once in a life time.

You are skipping the hike yet there is a little bit of a climb to actually reach the summit. It is a little scary if you’re scared of heights. The rocks are not even and it can be a little slippery or unstable. Probably takes 15 minutes to get to the top. It is so worth it!!! Can quickly spend an hour on the top looking in the distance, climbing on the rocks, and taking pictures. Yes it is $20 a person which is expensive especially if you have a family so they should definitely look into decreasing the price or...

Thanks to Jim Catalfamo's review. I was able to find out about the toll for the Whiteface Highway. The toll house is open 8:45 am to 5:30 pm on May 24 until October 14. Before you go to the mountain, make sure you check the weather and use the bathroom! There are only portable bathrooms at the toll house and the top of the mountain. This is my first time visiting the top of a mountain by driving, but I thought it was really nice of them to let us know about the temperature, wind speed, and visibility at the summit. For those who are curious, I went there when it was 50 degrees, 5-20 mph wind, and 70 miles visibility. I drove up when it was mostly sunny and partly cloudy. The view up there is pretty clear and amazing, it wasn't that cold in my opinion since it was sunny and I was climbing up to the Whiteface...
