Let’s check out the Mount Equinox Skyline Drive in Manchester. It’s a mountaintop drive you’ll never forget!
The Skyline Drive Toll House is located on Vermont Historic Route 7A

This 5.2 mile drive is the longest, privately owned, paved toll road in the United States.

There are many areas to stop and admire the views of the mountains, lakes, rivers and the valley below.
With guard rails along most of the way, this is one of the most well constructed toll roads in the country.
Be sure to pull over and take advantage of one of the picnic areas along way.
Don't miss the view of the monastery from the Monastery Overlook.
This is the only Carthusian monastery in the country.
What will you see along the way?
Breathtaking views of the Green Mountains, the Valley of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the east; the Adirondack Mountains of New York to the west; and the Taconic and Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts to the south.
