June 8, 2017 by Kristin McLane 3 Comments

The Long Trail Guide is in!  A limited number of books have arrived from the printers and will be shipping out immediately to those who pre-ordered.  The rest of the books should arrive in a week and we will continue shipping from there.  If you haven’t heard about the new edition yet, keep reading!

*Update:  The printer surprised us by delivering the rest of the books the same day!  The Visitor Center is stocked and orders will go out on schedule.*

LONG TRAIL GUIDE

The Centennial Edition
A Footpath in the Wilderness

Following the spine of the Green Mountains from Massachusetts to Quebec, the 272-mile Long Trail is Vermont’s rugged, world-renowned hiking route.

Whether you are an end-to-ender or a day hiker, the Long Trail Guide contains the information you’ll need to enjoy the scenery and solitude of Vermont’s highest peaks, including:

  • New and easier-to-read full-color topographic maps and elevation profiles
  • New shelter overview tables in each division providing quick reference information for shelters, camping, and water sources
  • Detailed descriptions of the route including shelter and trail history
  • Directions to trailheads and parking
  • Mileage tables and hiking times

Sales of this guidebook support the Green Mountain Club, a member-supported, nonprofit organization which has maintained and protected the Long Trail since 1910.
