Prospect Mountain

After spending the afternoon in Lake George Village we took the drive up the Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway to the 2,021-foot mountain summit with a 100-mile view at its peak. It was a beautiful day and the views were spectacular. You can hike the mountain or drive up to the summit.

There are three overlooks to stop at on the drive up to the summit.

This is the view from the first stop.





This is the panorama view of Lake George

We took a shuttle up to the summit. There is a trail and it is less than a ten minute walk but we chose the quick & easy alternative.

The history of Prospect Mountain is pretty interesting. There used to be a hotel up in the mountain. I would love to have been able to see it back in the day. There used to be an old cable system that used to bring guests up to the mountain summit.
