Long Trail News

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!)

The full digitized archive of both The Green Mountain News and the Long Trail News is available on the GMC Montpelier section’s website. Many thanks to Ken Hertz for his work over the years in making the historic archive accessible.
