We drove up the Veterans highway to enjoy the vistas from the top of Whiteface Mountain. The drive is fun and offers plenty of great views as you wind your way to the top. I always enjoy the tunnel to get to the elevator that takes yo up almost 27 stories to the peak of the mountain. The day can slip away as you wander around the top of the mountain, bring bug spray as the black flies are ruthless. The hike down is great with metal fencing to support and offer a hand hold through the slippery sections of rock.
