The 46 high peaks of New York's Adirondack Mountains jut out beyond Lake Champlain to give western Vermont quite a show. These peaks can be seen not only from waterfront homes in downtown Burlington, but from many Shelburne, Colchester, and Grand Isle VT homes as well. Spectacular year-round, the Adirondacks catch sunsets, unlike any other mountain range. Not only for aesthetics, these peaks also offer some of the east coast's best skiing that Vermonters and New Yorkers alike can enjoy with convenience.
