The small sub peaks and bumps off of Mt. Mansfield are all named for different facial features; supposedly, the long ridge line of Mansfield looks like the profile of a man's face lying down. This particular feature is known as Mansfield's Upper Lip, or simply, the Upper Lip. This rocky band of cliffs is quite prominent on the exposed ridge line and is a great feature to snap some photos of as you continue your hike in the alpine tundra.
