Hey Ctyanky, thanks for sharing. This is a neat 360 degree view from the top of Mt. Mansfield without having to walk up there :shock:

Thanks rk and Aspen. I thought it was really fun to use the cursor to move around the mountain! Just a little cloudy when taken but the views were amazing. I'd like to go back up there again. The gondola was fun but didn't go to the very top.

Easiest way to the top is the toll road. The parking lot is a very short walk from the ridge. That, of course, is still not at the summit, but it is all you need for 360 panoramic views and no physical exertion.

Someday, I would like to be up there for a sunrise, but the only way to do that would be to camp up there and there are some very limited opportunities for that (long trail shelters must be reserved. Theres is also a cabin up there -- must also be reserved).
