Trail News, Just for Members
The Long Trail News is the Green Mountain Club’s quarterly membership magazine, and has been published for more than 100 years. From December 1922 to April 1925, the Green Mountain Club published The Green Mountain News twice yearly to share club news and activities. The magazine saw a title change in 1925 and morphed over time from a four-page black and white newsletter to the full-color quarterly magazine members receive today.
Receiving the Long Trail News is a benefit of Green Mountain Club membership. Here we provide recent past magazines for all to enjoy. (Want to enjoy this membership perk? Join today!)
