Upper Green Mountains Maple Open House Weekend Tour
Upper Green Mountains
Skyscraping icons of Vermont, the Upper Green Mountains are a majestic march of peaks that span from remote Belvidere Mountain in the north to the ski-trail-laced slopes farther south. Broken only by the Lamoille and Winooski river valleys and the winding passes of Smugglers’ Notch and the Appalachian Gap, these mountains represent the state’s most rugged terrain—and its most inviting landscape for challenging outdoor recreation. Skiing’s history in this region dates back 90 years, to when Civilian Conservation Corps teams cut the first trails on the state’s highest peak, Mount Mansfield.
