Vermont Nature Guide
Vermont is a small, steeply folded state where the Green Mountains run the length of the spine, the Champlain Valley spreads warm and fertile to the west, and the cold, remote Northeast Kingdom holds the highest, hardest country. From the alpine tundra on Mount Mansfield and Camel's Hump to the loon-haunted lakes and the dairy-and-maple farmland between, it packs a dramatic natural calendar into USDA zones 3b through 5b — a long northern winter, a sugaring season that defines its spring, an explosive warbler migration, and the most famous fall foliage in the country.
