Destination in brief

Vermont's name comes from the French "Les verts monts" - meaning "the green mountains". That is a hint at the beautiful Green Mountains. Vermont is nicknamed "The Green Mountain State".

Neighbors: Canada (north), New Hampshire (east), Massachusetts (south), New York State (west).

Size: 24,923 km²  (9,614 sq mi)

Population (in 2020): 624,000 - 94% White, 1.6% Asian, 1,3% Black or African American

Vermont is among the four least religious US states (with Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine). Only 34% of the adult population is in the category of highly religious.

Geography

Vermont is the only New England state with no coast.

Mt. Mansfield is Vermont's highest peak at 1,107 meters (4,400 ft).

Climate

The Indian Summer starts late summer and lasts until autumn. That is the best time to visit Vermont because nature is incredible.
