Vermont is the state located in the New England region, up in the northeastern part of the United States of America. By default, it ranks in the 43rd by land area with an overall amount of 9,250 square miles in approximation. Vermont is a land-locked state, with no access to any large body of water with the exception of Lake Champlain, a popular tourist attraction of Vermont.

The state is bordered by Massachusetts in the south, Canada’s Quebec up to the north, New York in the west, and New Hampshire to the east. Vermont is noted for its tourist destinations and its exported dairy goods. The state also has made a name for its high quality maple syrup. Vermont’s capital is Montpelier.

The Green Mountains (Les Verts Monts) is another tourist destination aside from the famous Lake Champlain. The Green Mountains are named just that, though no one knew where the name came from, probably because of its lush forests and greenery. Others say because of the local mica quartz chlorite schist, a green colored shale which is exposed in some parts of the mountain which could have led early explorers to name the range as Green Mountains.

It is known, though, that the mountain range runs its length through the state. Other mountains exist too, like the Taconic mountains in the south part of the state, the Granitic Mountains in the northeast, the Champlain Valley in the northwest. Not a mountain, but Lake Bomoseen in the south of that valley.

Vermont has a usual moist climate, often leading to warm humid summers and stifling cold winters. Springs usually lead to mud seasons, while summer follows with humidity and a colorful autumn after that. Autumn is the season where you have to be in Vermont. The hills display very vibrant colors of red, orange and gold from the sugar maple trees that spread across the state. Vermont’s soil is said to be conducive to the colorful autumn foliage.
