You hiked the Long Trail in a day!

August 8, 2019 by Kristin McLane Leave a Comment

Wow! What a weekend! We are just blown away by the success of Long Trail Day and the support shown for the Green Mountain Club’s new social fundraiser and hiking challenge event.

Saturday, August 3rd, was a perfect Vermont summer day and we accomplished our goal of hiking the entire 272-mile Long Trail in one day. (Of course, with all of the out-and-back hikes and loops, we hiked much more than 272 miles!)

Even more exciting, Long Trail Day participants helped to raise over $37,000 for the Green Mountain Club and the Vermont hiking trail system we all love!

Check out some of the great places that our Long Trail Day hikers made it out to on Saturday:

Ask a Science Teacher: Why is the Long Trail so Muddy?

March 27, 2023

Vermont — and especially the Long Trail — is known for being sort of muddy. We even have an official fifth season, "mud season." Why is Vermont (sometimes known as "Vermud") and the Long Trail so muddy? Why is the Long Trail so muddy? To answer, we asked Joe Bahr, newly minted author of the … Read more
