section of the Long Trail near Cape Lookoff Mountain in Vermont

Here is a zoom-in photo of The Great Cliff from Route 73. This is a nesting site of Peregrine Falcons, the world's fastest (200 mph) animal. While no longer endangered in VT, they are still protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. When nesting they are sensitive to us hikers, which is why The Great Cliff is closed April-July.
