Description
Mount Mansfield rises above the valley farmland in the small town on Underhill, Vermont.
Mount Mansfield is the highest mountain in Vermont with a summit that peaks at 4,393 feet (1,339 m) above sea level. The summit is in Underhill, VT; the ridgeline, including some secondary peaks, extend into the town of Stowe, VT, and the mountain's flanks also reach into the town of Cambridge, VT.
When viewed from the east or west, this mountain has the appearance of an elongated human profile, with distinct forehead, nose, lips, chin, and Adam's apple. These features are most distinct when viewed from the east with the chin being the highest point.
Mount Mansfield is one of three spots in Vermont where true alpine tundra survives from the Ice Ages. A few acres exist on Camel's Hump and Mount Abraham nearby and to the south, but Mount Mansfield's summit still holds about 200 acres (81 ha).
The mountain is used for various recreational and commercial purposes. "The Nose" is home to transmitter towers for a number of regional radio and TV stations. There are many hiking trails, including the Long Trail, which traverses the main ridgeline. In addition, Smuggler's Notch Resort and Stowe Mountain Resort extend onto the mountain for winter skiing.

What a gorgeous pastoral landscape James. The verdant pasture and baby blue sky has always been a favorite color combination. The clouds and sunshine/shadows complete the scene beautifully.
