We spent a couple of days in Vermont this past Labor Day, and decided to drive to the top of Mount Equinox.
Mount Equinox is between Arlington (one of the homes of Norman Rockwell) and Manchester Center, Vermont. It is the tallest peak in the Taconic range, some 3,855 feet above sea level. It is the second highest point in southern Vermont. The name supposedly originates from 1823 and a visit around the autumnal equinox by one Captain Alden Partridge.
From its peak, on a clear day, you can see Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and New York. It is said that, on an especially clear day, you can see all the way to Montreal, Quebec.
These photos were taken before, and at the beginning of our drive.
We began our adventure in Arlington, Vermont. (I don't think the peak shown is Equinox.)
Uh oh, the clouds are building.
Did we get to see what we had come for? Or will we be clouded out? Join us next week and see.
