When You Say, “Oh What A View,” What Do You See?

Washington County Route 6 offers tremendous views of Vermont as you drive down the other side of the mountain.

When you’re leaving Huletts on a clear day, the view from the other side of the mountain looking off into Vermont is spectacular. I stopped the other day and got this picture.

In an effort to clarify what one actually sees as they head down the mountain, I went to my topography map of Vermont and also used Google Earth to examine the view. The view on a clear day extends out some 25 to 35 miles and Killington is clearly visible.

Here is the view with the major landmarks identified. (Click to see full screen.)

So the next time you say,”Oh, what a beautiful view,” you’ll know what you’re looking at.
