Mt Mansfield with a variation I had not done before. Went along the CC road from the park and then went up Halfway House to the ridge. Followed the ridge to the top of the auto road. From the parking lot you go down the road a little and take a left to get to Cliff. Cliff is an interesting trail. It works its way along the ski area side of the mountain. It goes through a number of caves and weaves its way along the steep terrain over near the gondola. One cave is so narrow that I had to take my pack off and push it along in front of me to get through. It then heads back up to near the trail that leads to the top of Mansfield. It was an interesting day with clear moments and some interesting cloud formations coming through. Ended up going down Sunset Ridge from the top. A nice loop.
