Voted 10/10 | Is that a rock spire or something man-made on the summit? | | Posted Nov 18, 2007 8:47 am |

Hasn't voted | It's actually a big man-made lookout point. They claim that it's the second most visited place on earth (Niagara Falls being the first..go figure!) and it has the most beautiful views of Mt. Blanc. | | Posted Nov 18, 2007 11:23 am |

Voted 10/10 | Thats too bad that they put something like that on a mountain top. Even if it affords great views it kinda takes away from a mountains stature (in my opinion). I would liken it to the auto road up Mt. Washington. It just feels wrong to me when you spend a day rock climbing on Pinnacle and then make your way up to the summit only to see tourists near their cars wearing cardigans and sneakers! | | Posted Nov 18, 2007 7:47 pm |

Hasn't voted | I agree with you completely, it spoils the mountain. Oh, and I don't think that people in cardigans should be allowed anywhere for that matter :-) | | Posted Nov 19, 2007 7:21 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Well almost nowhere- I think its still okay in Chatham on Cape Cod and Edgartown on Marthas's Vineyard! | | Posted Nov 19, 2007 8:28 pm |
