Description

The trail starts off following a road which turns into a CCC road. You will pass the trailhead for the Sunset Ridge Trail on the way, eventually reaching the Maple Ridge Trail. This is a great trail with lots of challenges, steep rock faces and a craves. There are many open views and lots of rocks to climb over. In the fall you can eat blueberries along the way. Once to the forehead on the southern end of Mt. Mansfield, head north to the "Chin". It is the highest elevation at 4383 ft. The hike across the peak is mostly above treeline. Along the way you will pass the Sunset Ridge Trail again. From the "Chin" backtrack back to the Sunset Ridge trail. This is the perfect descent in the evening because you are above the treeline for a long distance and can watch the sun set over the Adirondack mountains and Lake Champlain.
