Peak views question

[PeterM]

Friday up on the summit of Monadnock we had a spectacular view - Pack Monadnock, Wachusett, Quabbin, the Berkshires, the Whites and the Boston skyline. But I was trying to get a view of Sunappee, Kearsarge, Cardigan and couldn't place them. A few years ago I had found a website that gave a "view" from any high summit in New England. Print it out, go to the summit, and with compass you had a 360 degree map of your surrounding view.

It could be used by hikers, surveyors & pilots

Anyone - help link me again to that site? Thanks

scudder's viewing guide

Not sure about websites but the "Scudders White Mountain Viewing Guide" is useful for id'ing views from some New England peaks (Mt. Monadnock is one of them). They have a new edition out. I found one here but I'm sure there are other websites as well:

Something like this?

I've seen the book, it looks really great for IDing the peaks.

Out west in Rocky, I ran across a device at the top of bluff on Trailridge RD. You could look through it and the name of the peak was below. Neat!!

I'd be interested in a site like that, I have only been able to ID the obvious ones

No website rival's Scudder's Viewing Guide. His 2nd Ed. gives you a complete 360, with no bump omitted, from 54 fine summits. Order direct from his High Top Press and Brent will autograph your copy.

I have a copy of what you are looking for, the 360 deg view from Monadnock summit. Includes all the peaks and bumps. I believe Chamberline compiled all the information many years ago. If you don't have any luck finding one online drop me a PM and I will get someone to scan it and I will email you a copy.
