Vermont mountains highlights

  • The lower-elevation Taconic Mountains lie in the southwest corner of the state, extending up from Massachusetts.
  • The rugged, 272-mile long Long Trail crests the spine of the Green Mountains from Massachusetts to Canada, traversing the summit of over 50 peaks along the way.
  • The 5 peaks over 4,000 ft all lie in the Green Mountains. The highest is Mt. Mansfield, home of ski area Stowe.
  • Named after the French Les Monts Verts, meaning "the Green Mountains". The Green Mountains, a spine of peaks stretching north-south for 280 miles, dominate the state's geography.
"Continued on to this one I hadn't gotten to on my last trip (in 2012). There is no trail to the summit due to it being the VT Public Broadcasting antenna site, although there are no signs discouraging hikers, so I followed the access road up and back." — SteveM_StickMan • Jun 7, 2021
"After returning from The Nose, I decided to make an attempt at the main summit and possibly beyond since I had enough time before sunset. Along with the Upper Lip on the LT, this minor peak, just off the trail, was on the way. After checking out the "Rock of Terror", in making my way back to the LT, I slipped and tore my knee. Had to abort The Chin attempt. Fortunately, after many rest stops, I made it back to my car at the pkg. lot." — SteveM_StickMan • Jun 7, 2021
"Started out from the Toll road pkg. lot on this incredibly hot day to visit some of the areas I didn't make it to in 2012. There was a nice breeze on the ridge to make hiking along the Long Trail comfortable. Continued up to The Nose afterward." — SteveM_StickMan • Jun 7, 2021
"Met my son for the hike up Norris. The trail is maintained by the boy scout camp across the road & was a short but steep climb to the lookout on top. 5 miles & 2.5 hrs total. " — billsussdorff • Jun 4, 2021
"Second time summiting Mendon. I managed to avoid the maze of wood's roads & stay on course this time getting to the top in 2 hrs. I brought my bug net, but they weren't bad & never used it. 8.6 miles & 4 hrs. total." — billsussdorff • May 17, 2021
