Spend a night over at New Hampshire's Mount Washington Observatory through mid-April 2008.
Trips leave from the base of Mount Washington at 8:30 a.m. on the first day of the two-day trip, then head back to the valley the next afternoon (weather permitting). The trip includes transportation, lectures and field trips, tours of the observatory and the summit, all meals and overnight lodging.
Sleeping arrangements are summer camp style, with bunk beds and a shared bathroom. There is heat, but no showers for guests.
The EduTrip program is open to members of the observatory, and most participants join just to make the trip. In addition to the membership fee ($30 and up), the cost of each trip is $459 per person. Any "physically fit" adult can make the trip, as can teenagers 14 and older who are accompanied by a parent or guardian.

P.S. Always check the weather as it can be very tricky, and at times dangerous.
