Anyone think you could see One World Trade Center from Slide Mountain?
Slide Mountain is 4200 feet high and One World Trade Center is 1776 feet high.
As the crow flies, the distance is about 90 miles.
The distance to the horizon from the top of Slide Mountain to a object 1776 feet high is ~103-104 miles.
One World Trade Center is 1,368 high without the antenna so it's highly unlikely. I once saw it from El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure which is 45 miles, half of that, yet it was VERY hard to see.
Buildings LOL. views from buildings wtf. In the foothills over Denver your tallest buildings look like crab grass growing thousands feet below. Try checking out the views from lookout MT. over Denver than get back to us. On clear days
from the higher residential areas in the foothills you not only see the skyline you can practically see Kansas.
The fun is how far away you can see a specific city. Not all cities are next to mountain ranges. It's pretty cool to see NYC from 45 miles away, even it would be no big deal to see a city like Denver which is close to some very high mountains.
What skyline? I can see the city lights from my house about 7-8 miles away. You won't see much farther than that because the hills/mountains begin.
When we were kids in Ohio and let loose in Cedar Point for the day, it was always fun to try to see over to Windsor, ON if it was clear enough. You had to be on a ride but it was possible.
Heading south on the Interstate 95 flyover (about 80 feet high) with the Miami skyline about 20 miles away.Sorry but this is the highest point in south Florida since we have no hills!

You can't see mainland Canada from the top of Top Thrill Dragster nor Millennium Force.
You can however see Middle Island which is an island in Lake Erie and the southernmost point in Canada.
