The view from Mt. Philo's peak

Mt. Philo State Park — The perfect high-altitude locale for picnics with friends, Mount Philo offers big views in exchange for relatively little hiking. The 968-foot peak overlooks the Lake Champlain Valley and New York's Adirondack Mountains. You can also drive up it.
