Brandon Gap

East to west excursions along State Route 73 tantalize the visitor to stop for a picnic lunch or go for a walk along a cold mountain stream as the road winds in and around the rural Vermont countryside. At the base of the 800-foor Great Cliff of Mount Horrid,  just east of the Brandon Gap mountain pass, is the Mt. Horrid observation site. This pull-out provides views of the Great Cliff and a vantage point overlooking a large wetland complex and beaver pond.
