The End-to-Ender’s Guide, first published by GMC in the 1990s, is the perfect companion to planning a trip on the Long Trail. It has detailed information about the amenities found in towns along the trail, from restaurants to hiker-friendly hostels to public transportation and mail drop, laundry, and parking options. This digital guide links directly to every establishment’s website and Google Maps listing, so you can quickly and easily navigate and confirm details. For those who prefer a hard copy, you are welcome to print this guide; we have aimed to include enough information that it can serve productively as an offline resource as well.
