This monument was breath taking. A bit hard on the knees when you walk down. But we got engaged at the top so I think my knees were weak for other reasons. Great photo's, wonderful staff, excellent monument to visit!
More in the museum than I was expecting. Insight into life way back was educational. Found a few interesting books in their shop - Pilgrim/Indian relations and Sailors' Valentines. Informative staff. Climbing up to the top of the monument wasn't as bad as you'd imagine though it has high winds at the top and is very loud inside as every sound echoes.

Needless to say, coming down the staircase was much easier.
First off, don't visit the monument on a full stomach! It's a good climb to the top. Their handouts tell you it's 116 steps and 60 ramps to the top. All in all it's not THAT bad, as you walk some steps, walk the ramp, walk some steps, rinse, repeat. We were barely winded at the top, but maybe that just means we're not THAT ...
