    Tips

    May 10, 2023

    The Cliff Trail is a challenging, exposed, exciting, and unique trail on the Mt. Mansfield ridge line. Although the trail itself is only 0.8 miles (one way), it is one of the most difficult and potentially dangerous hikes in the area; you are hiking largely on exposed rock faces, which are often wet and slippery. There are also moments when you need to cross over large gaps in the rocks, climb a wooden ladder, and most of the trail is exposed and is frequently windy. All this being said, however, this is a fantastic trail that offers a great challenge for hikers who might enjoy a more scramble-y way to traverse just below the iconic Mansfield ridge line.
