Although incomparable in size and majesty to the Grand Canyon, the Quechee Gorge in Vermont ought to draw your attention as a spectacular scenic attraction. The gorge is located in Quechee, Vermont, and is 165 feet deep, with a beautiful ravine that runs along the floor of the gorge. Roughly 13,000 years ago, the area was covered by a glacier and over time, as the glacier melted, the rushing water carved what is now this beautiful gorge, one of the most magnificent natural wonders in the US.

There are beautiful views of the Gorge from high above. Make sure to cross the bridge; perhaps the best views can be spotted from this location.
