Take An Unforgettable Drive To The Top Of Vermont’s Highest Mountain, Mount Mansfield

Mount Mansfield is just one of the many natural beauties that Vermont has to offer. And while the hike to the top of the summit can be intimidating for some, there’s luckily another way to still score these amazing views. For unbelievable views and a scenic drive, take advantage of the Auto Toll Road to Mount Mansfield.

At 4,393 feet above sea level, Mount Mansfield is considered to be the tallest mountain in Vermont.

It's said to resemble the elongated face of a man looking up at the sky, with the Adam's apple on the north side of the mountain.

Visitors who are short on time or can't manage the full hike can take the Stowe Auto Toll Road to the top.

To take the toll, you'll have to pay a fee of $24 per car which includes the driver's admission. Additional passengers are $9 each.
The 4.5 mile-long Toll Road is unpaved and sturdy cars are highly recommended.
