Mansfield's Nose, or the Nose, is one of the most prominent features on the famous Mansfield ridge line. When looking at the ridge from the east or west, it looks like an elongated profile of a face, with each of the bumps and peaks named for a different part of the face. The Nose is comprised of a small rounded sub peak topped by huge rocky cliffs. There are several transmitter towers for regional radio and TV stations, and a small Visitor Center on the Nose, which is also accessible by a road (the Toll Road). The Nose is a great place to start your hike if you want to get up to the beautiful, unique Mansfield ridge line but maybe want to skip some of elevation to save your energy for exploring the unique alpine environment; Mt. Mansfield is one of only three spots in the state where alpine tundra survives from the Ice Ages. Whether you're just starting your hike or passing by the amazing rocky cliffs on a longer hike, the Nose is a fantastic place to pause, take some photos and admire the views.
