Explore wild Vermont on the original long-distance trail
Challenge yourself on the Long Trail! Our 72-mile trek runs the length of the state of Vermont, from the southern end to the U.S.-Canada border. As you traverse peaks large and small, you’ll step up your expeditionary skills, learn more about leadership, and discover the unique ecology along this rugged Green Mountain spine.
Ideal for campers who have completed our Maine Appalachian Trail Backpack trip or have similar backpacking expedition experience.
