Mount Mansfield Hiking Guide

Vermont's highest peak, Mount Mansfield is home to many wonderful hiking trails on exposed alpine peaks, including the first section of The Long Trail. Views from The Chin (the highest point on the mountain) are some of the most spectacular in the state, taking in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Other parts of the mountain are also known for spectacular scenery, rugged trails, and beautiful campsites.

The variety of hiking trails from Underhill State Park on the west side of the mountain, and from Smuggler's Notch and the town of Stowe to the east, make for countless day-hikes and several backpacking trip opportunities.
