In 1866, a crude carriage road was built along the same route taken
by the Indians by Daniel Brewer, enabling horse drawn carriages to
reach the high summit of Green Mountain and take in its breathtaking views. Later that year, Daniel
Brewer constructed a small hotel at the highest peak of Green
mountain. The hotel was very successful, taking in almost 3,000
people in its most successful summer.
