People love seeing the views from the mountaintops of Vermont, but most are not up for the long hike up. We get it! Last week we told you about this drive on the highest road in Vermont which shows you incredible views, and now we have another drive you'll love. 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
between Manchester and Arlington, Vermont.
If you're using a GPS, enter 1A St. Bruno Drive, Sunderland, VT 05250. Just in case the weather isn't cooperating, we recommend calling first to make sure it's open! The Toll House number is 802-362-1114.
This 5.2 mile drive is the longest, privately owned, paved toll road in the United States.
This spectacular drive will take you along twists and turns as you climb up to the summit of Mt. Equinox.
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.
You'll love the Saint Bruno Scenic visitor center.
There are signs showing you in detail of what you find in the panoramic vista before you.
Bring some quarters on hand for the coin operated binoculars for a closer look!.
The ride down is just as beautiful as the ride up, and you're sure to love every moment.
