Thunder Jack Hikes to the Highest Point in Vermont [Mount Mansfield] - Hiking With Dogs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Join Tom, Tom's dog (Thunder "Jack" Cheese), and Tom's mom (Dottie) for a hike to the summit of Mount Mansfield -- the highest point in Vermont!
This Mount Mansfield hike starts in Underhill State Park and is one of the best hikes in Vermont (and arguably one of the best in New England). It's also one of the more difficult routes to the peak. After a brief stint on the Eagle Cut Trail, we reach a junction and follow an old CCC road, before reaching the Maple Ridge Trail.
The Maple Ridge Trail starts out weaving through the trees but eventually climbs above the treeline, becoming rocky and exposed. Keep an eye out for the gap in the trail... Jack wasn't confident in his ability to jump the gap and waited for assistance. This was a good lesson in knowing your limitations and erring on the side of safety.
The Maple Ridge Trail ends at the Forehead (Mansfield Ridge is thought to resemble a man's face staring at the sky, with prominent features labeled as the Forehead, Nose, and Chin), and the Long Trail takes us across the ridge line, eventually arriving at the Sunset Ridge Trail. Along the way, there are excellent views and a small visitors' center at the top of the auto toll road. The Chin, the highest point on the mountain, is just past the intersection with the Sunset Ridge Trail, which takes us back down the mountain.
We hope you'll follow us out on trail for this relaxing virtual hike -- an approximately 9-mile loop, with almost 3,000 feet of elevation gain, and stunning views!

Wow, some great views. Jack certainly had a way in front of the camera! :) Very impressive hike (especially impressed by the efforts of Dottie H and Jack)!
Tom = chopped liver? 😂 Glad you enjoyed the views... We'll pass that on to Dottie and give Jack an extra treat 👍
Such amazing views from the summit of Mount Mansfield. Looked an enjoyable ascent. Jack looked to be enjoying himself an he even got into a bit of rock climbing. Nice video to watch.
This route to the summit is interesting and well-maintained. It's a bit challenging, but the views are certainly worth the effort! Jack had a blast... Looking forward to some nicer weather, so he can get back on the trail again. Thank you so much for visiting and for your kind words. Hope you have a great week!

Great video! Thunder Jack Cheese is a star! Glad Mom didn't fall off that cliff LOL. Incredible view. Really enjoyed this one.
Always love hearing from you two, and appreciate the positive feedback! Jack is such a ham... He knows the camera flatters him. We're glad everyone finished safely, too! This was a legit tough hike, and Dottie crushed it with a smile on her face... You wouldn't want to hear the things that come out of my mouth on that kind of climb 🤣
