The Forehead (Mount Mansfield)

The Forehead is the southernmost named sub peak on the ridge line of Mt. Mansfield. Mansfield's Forehead, or simply, "The Forehead," gets it name from the idea that the the long, exposed ridge line of Mt. Mansfield looks like the profile of a man's face lying down. Standing at 3,940 feet, the Forehead is a great place to take in the views up the Mansfield ridge line to the north. Mt. Mansfield is one of two places where Arctic Tundra exists in Vermont so please try to stick on designated trails when traveling in this unique, beautiful area. From the "Forehead" here to the "Adam's Apple," which is a little over 2 miles to the south, the trail almost entirely above treeline, so please check conditions before traveling in this incredible area.
