The Green Mountains are a mountain range in the U.S. state of Vermont. The range extends approximately 250 miles (400 km), including, in north-to-south order and among other mountains,

• Jay Peak, 3870 feet (1180 meters),
• Mount Mansfield, 4393 ft (1339 m),
• Camel's Hump (formerly Camel's Rump), 4083 ft (1244.5 m),
• the mountains of the northern section of the Green Mountain National Forest, including
  • those of the Presidential Range of Vermont,
• Killington Peak, 4235 ft (1291 m), and
• those of the southern section of the Green Mountain National Forest, including
  • Glastenbury Mountain, 3748 ft (1142 m).

Farther south, the mountain range flows into The Berkshires in Massachusetts. To the north, the mountains end as the terrain flows into the prairies of the Canadian Province of Quebec. To the west, Lake Champlain separates much of the region from the Adirondack Mountains of New York while the Connecticut River separates the region from the White Mountains of New Hampshire. All of these mountains are considered to part of the Appalachian Mountains, a vast range that stretches from New England south to Georgia (U.S. state).

The Green Mountains are traversed by the Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail (including short stretches of road) that coincides in the southern part of the state with the Appalachian Trail. It is from these mountains that Vermont takes its name, its state nickname ("The Green Mountain State"), and the full latin name of UVM, its state land-grant university.
