As the Long Trail Guide writes: Mount Mansfield is the most frequently visited mountain in Vermont with nearly 40,000 visitors walking its upper reaches every year. For about 2.3 miles (from the Adams Apple to the Forehead) the Long Trail is almost constantly above treeline, the only such long stretch of alpine zone in Vermont. The mountain gets its name because when viewed from the east its summit ridge resembles the profile of a human face, and the names of its prominent features reflect this: Adams Apple (4,060'), Chin (4,393', highest point), Nose (4,062') and Forehead (3,940'). Mount Mansfield is the highest mountain in Vermont being the highest in the state it is also the highpoint of Chittenden County. All Rights Reserved.Seth Making his way up the Hell Brook Trail.
