The calendar says end of August, but when I walked out the door this morning, I could have sworn it was September. There is that touch of fall crisp to the air, something that has always enticed me to get out and explore. So, dial up a hike, a bike, or any adventure that feeds exploration.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-emphasis-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7b138c39c3b0183d828119ca4580ea86\"><strong>Today\u2019s Highlight<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Activities:<\/strong>\n<p><strong>Stretch &amp; Go<\/strong>\u00a08:00 am, and 10:00 am.

Dinner at the Hearth and Candle or Morse Mountain Grille without having to be concerned about that glass of milk spilling or whether or not someone ate enough vegetables sounds like a nice time to me.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday is the weekly Mount Mansfield hike. Join our hiking guides as they take you on one of the ultimate Vermont adventures to the state\u2019s highest elevation at 4,393 feet. With a prominence of 3,633 feet Mansfield shoots up from the surrounding area more greatly than some of the 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado. Mountain prominence measures how much a mountain stands out from the surrounding terrain. Technically, it is the vertical distance between the summit and the lowest contour line encircling the mountain and no higher summit. It shows how &#8220;independent&#8221; a mountain is compared to others around it. A peak with high prominence usually appears more dominant in the landscape. <br \/>The weather looks perfect for hiking tomorrow too, so don\u2019t miss out on the best 360-degree view in the Green Mountains.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-emphasis-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1c55d931feedededa830fa25847f3cc7\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f4f2.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf2\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/>&nbsp;Text Smuggs to 855-421-2279\u202ffor real-time alerts about weather updates, schedule changes, and more!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/resort-info\/hours\/\">Hours of Operation<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CHECKIN_8-15-8-21.pdf\">Weekly Activity Guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/views-from-the-notch\/impressive-prominence\/\">Impressive Prominence<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\">Smugglers\u2019 Notch Resort Vermont<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify mb-2\" >Conditions &amp; Atmosphere Weather:&nbsp;Mostly Sunny, with a high near 67.
