view east

This overlook sits at 1,946 feet along the Adirondack Trail, facing 135 degrees toward the southeast. The terrain drops 349 feet within 600 meters of the pullout. From here, a line of peaks extends across the eastern and southeastern horizon: Whiskey Hill at 4.9 miles, followed by Brower Hill, Steele Mountain, and Peters Mountain between 5.2 and 6.3 miles out, with Lawyer Mountain, Bernhardt Mountain, Ferguson Mountain, and Tyrrell Hill stretching to 7.1 miles and rising as far as 2,290 feet. The orientation puts the view roughly toward sunrise, angled 45 degrees off square with it, so morning light crosses the ridgeline at an angle rather than head-on. Sunrise times here shift from 05:18 at the June solstice to 07:27 at the December solstice. Schenectady lies 36.0 miles to the southeast, with Guilderland and Troy farther beyond at 43.0 and 48.8 miles. This stop connects along the route between Viewpoint to East and River Overlook.
