Some people say you can see the City Of Montreal from up there, althought I was there and saw nothing but Mountains and more Land, althought you'd probably need Binoculars, and it'd have to be a extremely Clear Day. It's pretty amazing.

beautiful!!! that really gives you the depth of perception with the clouds lifting and falling with those crazy winds...

Too bad I didn't any breaks in the clouds after hiking up to the summit. At Pinkham Notch, you could see similar batches of clouds flying over the summit. But, a few hours later, the summit was consistently covered in a very fast moving fog. Still had a very fun trip.
