Long Trail Guide: Your Vermont Hiking Companion

Following the ridgeline of the Green Mountains from Massachusetts to Canada, the 272-mile Long Trail is Vermont’s historic, rugged, and world-renowned hiking route. Over 100 years old, it passes over all five Vermont peaks above 4,000 feet; through fields and forests, and alongside refreshing streams and ponds. The Green Mountain Club has faithfully maintained it since 1910. In 1917, GMC published the first guidebook to the Long Trail as a resource for the partially built trail. For more than 100 years, GMC has faithfully updated and published this reliable guidebook, now expanded to cover the 272-mile Long Trail, its side trails, and the entire Appalachian Trail in Vermont. The 29th Edition includes the latest changes in trail layout and reflects a boom of shelter construction over the last five years. Full color maps, photographs, and inspirational quotes from End-to-Enders will give you the tools and inspiration you need to plan a successful hike on the Long Trail – whether it is one mile or the entire length of Vermont. When you purchase publications from GMC, you are supporting the work that goes into caring for the Long Trail System and keeping it a free and open resource. View Less
