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.
"Hiked from the end of Nichol's Hill Rd. using a series of wood's roads/snowmobile trails to the top of Myrick. Signed the pickle jar on the true summit & also checked out the remains of a 70's plane crash just off the summit. One nice view across the valley to Dorset & Aeolus Mts.

"This is really more of a hill than a mountain but still enjoyable nonetheless. Park at the TAM trail access point on Route 7 in Middlebury to make the hike longer and more challenging" — vtpeakbagger75 • Nov 7, 2020
"Starting at unmarked parking area on FS71. Trail follows old woods roads, snowmobile/horse trails. Mostly unmarked, but easy to follow. There are 3 water crossings, one 50ft from your car the another less than 1/4 mile in. Both were boots off for me in late October. May be better in dryer months. Third crossing is about 1 mile in. Was able to rock hop this one. Map shows intersection with long trail when you reach the ridge. The snowmobile doesn't intersect there, but runs parallel. Bushwack 100-200 feet and you'll find the LT" — Twodawgs • Oct 21, 2020

"Hiked peak via Bucklin to Long (out & back). Sunny dry weather and all of the leaves changing. Long easy trail through the woods with some gradual rock climbs near the top. Completed the 5 summits over 4000 ft. My totals over the 2 & 1/2 days were 44 miles and 16,500. I highly recommend the 5 peak challenge this time of year. They all have some unique features." — trussell • Sep 24, 2020
