GMC’s field staff consists of the Long Trail Patrol, Volunteer Long Trail Patrol, and Backcountry Caretakers. The Long Trail Patrol (LTP) was established in 1931 as the official trail crew of the club. LTP members use their advanced technical skills and trail knowledge to work on high impact areas of trail.
