Vermont mountains

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.
The 5 peaks over 4,000 ft all lie in the Green Mountains. The highest is Mt. Mansfield, home of ski area Stowe.
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 lower-elevation Taconic Mountains lie in the southwest corner of the state, extending up from Massachusetts.

Latest climbs

"Broke trail through about a foot of snow up Owl's Head today. Nice hike. Drove up to the upper trailhead and after a half mile road walk, I hiked up past the quarry (which was interesting) and along the ridge to Owl's Head. The trail up hooked around the back to the wooded summit. I did not do the loop and couldn't find Gilbert Lookout for some reason, but Owl's Head was a cool little knob that is worth hiking to, even though there are no views from the top." — elimihuta • Jan 20, 2025

"Broke trail up Baker Peak today. Nice, steady, easy ascent the whole way. 4 inches at the trailhead, and about a foot at the top. Views were lackluster on this cloudy day, with the best being an up close view of Dorset Peak and into the Valley of Vermont. I got 6.6 miles and 2100 feet of elevation. Brook crossings were challenging, and the trail was tough to find due to infrequent blazing. Would've had to turn back without Alltrails." — elimihuta • Jan 4, 2025

"Nice pleasant trail up a cool mountain. Took me almost 5 hours though, due to heavy, wet snow and having to break trail. Summit was socked in so I got no view. Well blazed and nice woods." — elimihuta • Dec 28, 2024

"Had a few hours to hike near Manchester today so chose to hike over to Spruce Peak. Trail is very gentle, but a blanket of leaves covers nasty surprises on the trail. View wasn't great, mostly of Equinox Mountain and Manchester, but the summit hemmed in by spruce is pretty cool." — elimihuta • Nov 3, 2024

"Nice hike up the Bucklin Trail today for another NE115 peak. Pretty chilly today but no ice or snow at the summit. Stunning views of Pico Peak, the Adirondacks, and some of Killington's ski trails." — elimihuta • Oct 27, 2024
