    I've ridden a motorcycle through here. Definitely a fun experience and a gorgeous spot! Though the mountains out here in the western U.S. put the east coast "mountains" to shame ;)

    lmao. indeed ;)

    It is a really nice spot for those layers of reducing contrast, though, because all the mountains are so uniformly sized. And most of the images like that can be had just by pulling over and shooting from the side of the road.
