The flight path northward crosses the Appalachian Mountains (visible as a series of ridges and valleys in Pennsylvania and New York), the Hudson River valley near New York City, and continues over the Catskill Mountains. Lake Champlain forms the border between New York and Vermont and is visible as a long, narrow body of water. The Green Mountains of Vermont appear as a north-south running ridge. As you approach Montreal, the terrain flattens and the St. Lawrence River becomes the dominant feature.
