 Green Mountains
The Green Mountains dominate Vermont, and Vermont dominates the Green Mountains.
Four other mountains rise above 4000 feet, and although their above-timberline area is miniscule, they still provide fine hiking objectives and excellent scenery in the overall context of the Appalachians; compared with most of the Southern Appalachians, for example, the Greens and their relatively low timberline look pretty impressive.
Cross country skiing is also very popular in the rolling foothills of the Green Mountains, and the partially complete Catamount Trail, planned to roughly parallel the Long Trail from one end of the state to the other, is perhaps the premier long-distance skiing trail on the east coast.

 Class Struggle In The Green Mountains: Vermont Workers' Center | NEFAC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The overarching goal of the VWC is to empower those persons within the working class who are normally shut out of the political and economic systems that, time and time again, pursue policies that do not uplift the worker, but rather push them closer to the precipice of poverty and ignorance.
The central thesis of the campaign was that if Vermonters want quality healthcare, one of the ways it can happen is when people are not overworked and underpaid, thus linking the need for universal healthcare for all people, and how it is needed in society as a whole.
A current project brewing at the VWC targets the building trades and is similar to the above campaign in that it frames the struggle for good jobs throughout the state as one big struggle, in the broader context of the working class and as a social justice cause.

 The big cheese: Tourists visit Vermont dairy artisans - USATODAY.com (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-3.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Like the wineries of California, Vermont's cheesemakers and the hard-to-find cheeses they sell straight off the farm are taking off as a destination in their own right, adding to the attractions of a state already famed for pastoral scenery, historic towns, charming inns and fall foliage.
Gazing at the Green Mountains in the distance, which the changing leaves have colored in spectacular reds and golds, Kehler explains that Vermont has an advantage because of its lush pasturelands, which offer the perfect meal for milk-producing cows, sheep and goats.
One of the charms of a cheese-tasting tour of Vermont is that many of the new cheesemakers are located in the loveliest, most rural parts of the state, often down small, unpaved country roads that wind through rolling, forested- and farm-covered hills.
