Mount Mansfield is just one of the many natural beauties that Vermont has to offer. And while the hike to the top of the summit can be intimidating for some, there's luckily another way to still score these amazing views. For unbelievable views and a scenic drive, take advantage of the Auto Toll Road to Mount Mansfield.
At 4,393 feet above sea level, Mount Mansfield is considered to be the tallest mountain in Vermont.
It's said to resemble the elongated face of a man looking up at the sky, with the Adam's apple on the north side of the mountain.
Do you see it?
While many people spend hours hiking to the top, there's an easier way to get the mountaintop views, and it's one of the most scenic drives in Vermont.
Visitors who are short on time or can't manage the full hike can take the Stowe Auto Toll Road to the top.

The 4.5 mile-long Toll Road is unpaved and, while it is one of the most scenic drives in Vermont, it's not always the smoothest ride!
But that's to be expected when you're driving through the mountians in Vermont.

At the top, you can take a few short trails to discover beautiful vistas.
The Cliff Trail, Long Trail and Canyon Trail will climb up another 550 feet and stretch for 1.5 miles.
The Stowe Mountain Auto Toll Road is open between May and October every year.
It stays open every day between 9 am and 4 pm, with the exception of certain weather conditions. Bikers are not allowed on this road, just in case you wanted to take your bike up to the summit.
