Earlier this month, we decided to drive up the Mount Mansfield Toll Road in Stowe, Vermont. We walked the Long Trail from the Mansfield visitor’s center up to the summit of Vermont’s tallest peak! It’s certainly different seeing this mountain in the summer rather than in the winter. All those ski trails were covered in beautiful wildflowers and the icy winds were just a cooling summer breeze!
July Hike on Mt. Mansfield

Wonderful video, Louis! Wife & I have only done the gondola to the restaurant there at Mt Mansfield. Maybe one day we can do the hike, not as cliff clinging as I’d feared lol! Good luck in Colorado too! 😊 Pinned your blog to Pinterest!

The gondola to the restaurant leaves a pretty extreme hike straight up to the summit. Using the toll road, you can access the summit from a much more gradual incline. Enjoy!

Now THAT is invaluable to know, thank u, Louis! Now I have my reason to do the toll road next chance we get, maybe next summer 😊

I’ve been really feeling missing going to Vermont this year and remembered finding this very neat post via Louis Annino back on Sept 1st. Sheila & I’ve gone up the gondola to Mt Mansfield but not the Toll Road – just weren’t sure it was worth it. But Louis’ video and narrative makes me think even this nearly 69 year old could might make it 😊
Thanks everyone!

Spot on with this write-up, I truly assume this web site wants way more consideration. I’ll most likely be once more to read way more, thanks for that info.
