Whiteface Mountain
We took the Whiteface Veterans' Memorial Highway to the top of Whiteface Mountain which is listed as New York's fifth highest peak at 4,867 feet. The road takes you to the summit of the mountain which on a good weather day has amazing views.
The paved road rises over 2,300 feet in five miles from the Toll House. At the summit, there is a castle said to be built from native stone, a restaurant and gift shop, an elevator carved deep inside the mountain top itself, and a 360-degree, panoramic view.
