The Sunset Ridge Trail is considered one of the most scenic trails in Vermont. This is a moderately difficult climb to the summit of Mount Mansfield which is the highest point in the state. Most of the hike travels above the tree lines offering amazing views. There are several stream crossings as well as some short steep inclines. When the trail reaches the ridge line it continues over rocky and exposed ledges to the summit. This hike is not recommended during bad weather or high winds.
