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!)
