Where in the US are they?

The mountain in the background was called "tahwahbodeay wadso" (resting place mountain) by Natives Americans. The first Europeans to see it named it "Le Lion Couchant" (Sleeping Lion). It is not the highest peak in the state. It also appears in the background of the new state quarter and on the state flag.

I believe it is Camel's Hump. Great historical information to accompany the picture...

That is pretty much the view from my parents bedroom growing up.
Mount Mansfield in view from my room.
Thanks!
