The Green Mountains lie entirely in the state of Vermont. In fact, the word Vermont is French for green mountains.
The range runs primarily south to north and extends approximately 250 miles (400 km) from the border with Massachusetts to the border with Quebec, Canada.
The Green Mountains have a blazed trail running the entire length from Massachusetts to Canada which is called, can you believe it, the Green Mountain Trail. The Appalachian Trail uses the bottom half of the GM trail in Vermont leaving at the Maine Junction in Sherman pass.
Interconnected Ranges
There is a portion of the same range that extends into Massachusetts and as far south as Connecticut. Another portion extends north into Canada.
The part that is in Massachusetts is known as The Berkshires or the Berkshire Hills. The Connecticut portion, mostly in Litchfield County, locally called the Northwest Hills or Litchfield Hills. The Quebec portion is called the Sutton Mountains, or Monts Sutton in French.
