A beautiful 5.5 mile, two-lane highway leads to parking lots at each of the three vistas along the highway - The Narrows, Lake George, and the Eagle's Nest. There are beautiful views of Vermont's Green Mountains, New Hampshire's White Mountains, New York's Adirondack High Peaks and on a very clear day, the Laurentian Mountains of Canada. From the parking lot, take the shuttle or walk to the summit for more breath-taking views.
