The folio this time is of the Green Mountain area of Vermont, the small state in the northeast of the United States. While it is a neighbor to the original colonies that declared independence, Vermont is not among the original 13 which established the United States.

This folio displays many of the interesting and unusual views from the natural spring now called Kitch-iti-ki-pi. As shown, visitors board a simple raft which floats on the waters of the spring while they look down into the depths. The spring is about 40 feet deep, but because of the fast flowing water, is completely clear to the bottom.
