If you visit on a sunny and clear day, the peaks of Killington, Pico, and Mt. Ascutney will be visible to the south. Gaze north, and you'll see Camel's Hump and Mt. Mansfield. The White Mountains of New Hampshire to the east are also observable. The lookout tower has an informational board explaining all of the various mountain views. Soaking in stunning views is one of the most relaxing things to do outside in Vermont.
