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:

The When, Where, Why, and How of Vermont’s Bugs

June 29, 2022

Summer is a hot time of year for Vermont's critters, especially the creepy, crawly kinds. And while bugs are great — they pollinate vegetation; decompose dead plants and animals; and fuel the food chain — they can also threaten human health and wellbeing. Here's what you need to know to protect … Read more
