A FOGGY hike to the HIGHEST POINT in Vermont: Mount Mansfield (Maple Ridge + Sunset Ridge Trails)
Hiking to state high points has become a fun challenge for us and while in Vermont we knew we’d have to attempt our 6th state high point: Mount Mansfield at 4,393 feet tall.
Although the hike didn’t go as planned, with horrible weather, we still had a blast hiking this trail, which had some fun and difficult sections and hope if you plan to attempt Mount Mansfield this will at least give you a better idea of what to expect!
