Introduction

Mt. Mansfield is Vermont's highest peak at about 1,339 m, its ridgeline resembling a human face in profile. In winter it hosts the Stowe and Smugglers Notch ski areas; in summer a network of trails opens up, including the famously steep Hell Brook Trail, and the rocky summit ridge of the Long Trail delivers panoramic Green Mountains views.
