点评:This is an incredible hike anytime but anyone who has done things in nature like hikes knows the weather can seriously alter an experience. For us, we could not have had a better day which made this hike the highlight of our New England trip. At 4,395 feet, this is the Vermont highpoint and when the weather is perfect as it was for our hike you can see the highpoint of New York at Mount Marcy and New Hampshire at Mount Washington. You are also treated to incredible views of the Stowe valley and Burlington and Lake Champlain. You can even see the Camel's Hump in the Green Mountains.
We happened to do the Nose to Chin Trail (the mountain's ridge looks like a sleeping man's profile with a peak for the nose and Mount Mansfield as the chin) along the ridge at the top which is the easiest way to get there. You can go from either side at the bottom, but it is long and vertical and we had afternoon hiking planned for New Hampshire. You start in a forest but as you reach the ridge it is rocky especially as you climb the final part to the peak. This rocky part has few trees so you can see forever in every direction. I am sure this is a great place to visit anytime, but when you have the weather we did, it is simply amazing and incredible, trip highlight. One of the best hikes of the trip and we visited Acadia National Park in Maine and the Flume Gorge in New Hampshire.

我们碰巧沿着山顶的山脊走了从鼻子到下巴的小径(山脊看起来像一个熟睡的男人的侧面,山峰是鼻子,曼斯菲尔德山是下巴),这是到达那里最简单的方法。您可以从山脚的任意一侧出发,但这条路很长而且垂直,我们计划下午去新罕布什尔州徒步旅行。出发时,您从一片森林出发,但到达山脊时,山上布满了岩石,尤其是在爬上山顶的最后一段时。岩石部分树木稀少,因此您可以看到各个方向的无限风景。我相信这里是任何时候都值得游览的好地方,但如果您遇到我们遇到的天气,这里简直是令人惊叹和难以置信的,是旅途中的亮点。这是旅途中最棒的徒步旅行之一,我们参观了缅因州的阿卡迪亚国家公园和新罕布什尔州的弗卢姆峡谷。
