Green Mountains

Vermont's forested spine

The Green Mountains are a mountain range extending through Vermont, known for their forested slopes and as the source of Vermont's name (from French *vert mont*, "green mountain").

The range is part of the Appalachian system, popular for skiing and hiking.

We spent the weekend in the Green Mountains.
