About Mount Mansfield

Mount Mansfield is the highest mountain in Vermont, and its long ridge has features named the Forehead, the Nose and the Chin. The Long Trail follows the ridgeline, and a 4.5-mile, mostly unpaved Toll Road run seasonally by Stowe Mountain Resort climbs from Route 108 to a summit station at 3,850 feet. From there a 1.4-mile hike reaches the Chin, past some of the roughly 200 acres of alpine tundra left over from the Ice Age.
