Mount Mansfield
The highest peak in Vermont at 1,339 meters, with a ridgeline that looks like a face gazing upward; visitors can drive a toll road or hike to the summit for panoramic views.
Mount Mansfield rises to 1,339 meters, and its ridgeline resembles a person lying on their back, divided into features such as the forehead, nose, and chin. The summit has rare alpine tundra. In summer and fall, you can drive about 7 kilometers along a toll road to near the nose, then hike about 1.5 hours round trip along the long trail to the highest point on the chin. On clear days, you can see Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. The summit is windy and cold, so be sure to stay on the trails to protect the tundra.
