Mt. Mansfield

After dropping off at Plattsburg State we headed to the Green Mountains of Vermont to tackle Mt. Mansfield. I've been trying to knock off all the high points in the Northeast, so Mansfield was the next destination. We camped a small Vermont State campground called, appropriately, Underhill. The climb up the old CCC road and the Sunset Ridge Trail is 3.3 miles with an elevation gain of 2500 feet. What makes this trail so special, is the amount of time spent above treeline. The views start to open up after the first two miles and get better and better! Next up, Mt. Katahdin!
