The Green Mountains are a mountain range in the U.S. state of Vermont. The range runs primarily south to north and extends approximately from the border with Massachusetts to that with Quebec, Canada. The part of the range that is in Massachusetts is known as The Berkshires,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Mountains of Vermont )〕 and the part in Quebec is called the Sutton Mountains, or ''Monts Sutton''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Monts Sutton )〕 All mountains in Vermont are often referred to as the "Green Mountains". However, other ranges within Vermont, including the Taconics — in southwestern Vermont's extremity — and Northeastern Highlands, are not geologically part of the Green Mountains. ==Peaks== The best-known mountains – for reasons such as high elevation, ease of public access by road or trail (especially the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail), or with ski resorts or towns nearby – in the range include:〔Peak elevations taken from (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mountainzone.com/mountains )〕 *Mount Mansfield, , the highest point in Vermont *Killington Peak, *Mount Ellen, *Camel's Hump, *Mount Abraham, *Pico Peak, *Stratton Mountain, , the mountain at which the initial ideas of both the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail were born *Jay Peak, , receives the most amount of snowfall on average in the eastern United States *Bread Loaf Mountain, *Mount Wilson, *Glastenbury Mountain, The Green Mountains are part of the Appalachian Mountains, a range that stretches from Quebec in the north to Alabama in the south.
