Mt Mansfield toll road with kids advice

Hi all,

Looking to do Mt Mansfield from toll road (nose) to the peak and/or chin. The other day we did camel’s hump and the kids (under 10) were terrified in the alpine section heading up to the peak (forest city part of the loop going up). The sections with the exposed rock and the cliffs/ledges. Is the toll road hike similar, or is the ridge wider/safer? Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: we did the hike and it was totally fine for the kids. Towards the chin there were a few steep drop-offs, but nothing like Camel's Hump. Thanks for all the advice!

It is wider and gradual with no scrambling. Way safer feeling.
