Quechee Gorge is a magnificent 165-foot-deep chasm that was sculpted by glacial activity some 13,000 years ago. Flowing through the 3,000-foot-long narrow gorge is the Ottauquechee River, which winds through Windsor County and eventually feeds into the Connecticut River.Quechee Gorge, which is part of Quechee State Park, is Vermont's miniature version of the Grand Canyon. This popular scenic attraction is also Vermont's deepest and longest river gorge.
Incredible (and a bit dizzying!) views of the gorge can be seen on Route 4 from the Quechee Gorge Bridge, which was built in 1911 and is the oldest standing steel arch bridge in Vermont.

Thanks Kerri and Elvira! The gorge is such a cool spot. It's a place I never get tired of checking out.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful sight! Although gorges are always on my must see list! Very nice, Erica.
ReplyDeleteThat gorge is beautiful yet terrifying at the same time! I've been there but could never look down. I tried but I just couldn't do it. Well maybe for a couple seconds but thats it!
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll get back up that way again someday.
