ville or the Halfway House. (See "Side Trails on Mount Mansfield" and large map in front of book.) To reach the mountain from the east, turn north from U. S. Route No. 2 at Waterbury (Waterbury Inn) on Route No. 100 to Stowe (Green Mountain Inn), and there turn west on Route No. 108. This road runs directly through Smuggler's Notch, passing the Toll House (lower end of Toll Road to hotel), The Lodge (a delightful summer resort), the trail to Bingham's Falls (1/8 mile to the right), Barnes Camp, where it meets The Long Trail, the Big Spring, cold, clear and pure, and the Smuggler's Caves, and it affords many striking views of the towering cliffs and great boulders in the notch. Continuing north it passes Morse's Mills and joins Route No. 15 at Jeffersonville (Smuggler's Notch Inn). The beauty and grandeur of the scenery along this road are unsurpassed anywhere in New England.

Seen from a distance, especially from the east, the outline of Mount Mansfield resembles a man's face, turned to the sky, and its peaks are therefore named, from south to north, the Forehead, the Nose, the Chin and the Adam's Apple. The highest of these is the Chin (4,393 feet), the highest point in the State of Vermont. On the top of the Nose (4,062 feet) a concrete monument marks a point in the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey's primary triangulation system. The Indians called the mountain Moze-o-de-be Wadso, Moosehead Mountain, but the modern name was probably given it because it stood in the center of the old town of Mansfield, which was divided and annexed to Stowe and Underhill more than 70 years ago, though some authorities believe it was named for the English Lord Mansfield.

Along Mansfield's bare and windswept summit, which The Long Trail follows for its whole length, are found glacial boulders, curiously stunted trees and rare alpine plants, while of more human inter-
