A bit of a stretch indeed,

I can see Mt. Rainier (14,409 foot elevation) from my home, but it is only 80 miles away, and I am about 210 feet above sea level.
The stretch is Bilbo and the others seeing it at all over Mirkwood from that distance, even from the Carrock. In the book, Bilbo's first sight of the Lonely Mountain is after he escaped with the Dwarves on the barrels, and is approaching Long Lake.
" Well well!", said a voice. "Just look! Bilbo the hobbit on a pony, my dear! Isn't it delicious!"
"Most astonishing wonderful!"
