Hike the Long Trail System, and help us maintain and protect it for years to come.
Dedicated to the Long Trail and beyond
The Long Trail, a rugged footpath that runs along the spine of the Green Mountains from Massachusetts to Canada, is a true Vermont treasure. Since 1910, the Green Mountain Club has worked to maintain and protect the many trails of the Long Trail System, while educating and inspiring generations of hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
