The summit of Mansell Mountain itself is tucked away in the trees, but there is an overlook near the top of the Perpendicular Trail. The entirety of the Perpendicular Trail ascends a steep set of stairs from Long Pond carved into the mountainside and provides views of Long Pond and Beech Mountain from rock faces, forested lookouts, and rockslides.
