Beginning September 9, two towering beams of light will rise from the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, creating a dramatic tribute to the 25th anniversary of September 11. Known as The Honor Summit, the installation is inspired by the twin beams at Ground Zero and transforms the Northeast’s highest peak into a beacon of remembrance.
The beams will shine September 9–12, from 8 p.m. to midnight, extending roughly four and a half miles above Mount Washington’s 6,288-foot summit. In clear conditions, organizers estimate they could be visible from as far as 135 miles away, potentially reaching parts of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and beyond.
Created by Renee Plummer of the Granite Springs Foundation with support from New Hampshire and regional partners, The Honor Summit honors those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, as well as first responders, veterans and others who serve their communities. Visitors are encouraged to view the lights from surrounding communities rather than driving to the summit, taking a moment to look up, remember and reflect.
