Vermont mountains highlights

  • 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.
"I used the County Line trail from Brookline Rd to access the summit. The trail doesn’t look like it gets much use, so I broke out the trail the entire way. The summit is locally known as the Pinnacle." — billsussdorff • Feb 28, 2026
"With the ski area being closed today, I decided to snowshoe to the top. The ski trails I climbed were steep on both the ascent and descent. Overcast skies permitted any real views. Glebe is my 88th peak in the Vt 100 Classic Peak Challenge." — billsussdorff • Jan 6, 2026
"Philo was a short but steep climb using both the House Rock and Summit Trails to reach the summit. I returned to the parking lot via the auto road. All in all, a nice hike with two great viewpoints on top." — billsussdorff • Dec 30, 2025
"My first snowshoe of the season. I started on the trail to Snake Mountain off Mountain Road. When I got to the junction with the east trail, I began the bushwhack along the ridge to the wooded summit." — billsussdorff • Dec 3, 2025
"32 yrs since long trail thru hike! Very different conditions compared to last time when we gunned it under an incoming thunderstorm. Explored new trails on this rhike. ran up CCC road to maple ridge, then hiked up to the forehead. Took detour to The Nose and then found an exciting descent on rock ledges back to the Long Trail. Ran from there to the summit, then decided to add on adams apple as a bonus peak. Aptly named profanity trail was a total ball buster. Finished off with a slow run down the classic sunset ridge. Total classic. " — scott • Oct 17, 2025
