#2 Mount Mansfield, VT

VT Mount Mansfield 4,393 ft. Rank #47


This hike was the most picturesque so far, and that is a huge compliment to this mountain based on the great weather we had on Mt. Washington. We hiked to the trailhead and onto the Sunset Ridge Trail. Then it was up to the "chin" to summit. After the summit we hiked along the top of Mansfield, taking in the surrounding states of NY, VT and NH, as well as Canada. We hiked around 9 miles, and it took 6 hours round trip.
