About Green Mountains

The Green Mountains are a rugged mountain range that runs the length of Vermont, stretching from the Massachusetts border in the south to the Canadian border in the north. This ancient range is part of the larger Appalachian Mountain system and is characterized by heavily forested, rolling hills and peaks. Elevations range from around 500 feet in the valleys to over 4,000 feet at the highest summits. The terrain features a mix of granite bedrock, glacial features, and deep, scenic river valleys, providing a diverse landscape for outdoor recreation.
