    Vermont Hiking around Basin Harbor Abbey Pond Trail East Middlebury Vermont, Intermediate, 4.2 miles The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round. Directions from East Middlebury, VT: Travel 5.5 miles north of East Middlebury on SR 116. The trail begins on the east side of the road. 24 miles from BHC. Burnt Rock Trail North Fayston Vermont, Difficult, 5.2 miles A steep, 5.2 mile round-trip hike that takes you up to some of the best viewing on the Long Trail. The trail begins at the parking lot at the end of Big Basin Road before the steel pipe gate. You follow the Hedgehog Brook Trail along a stream. The trail ascends gently at first, becoming steeper as you get higher. After 2.5 miles, it joins the Long Trail. Shortly after joining the Long Trail, a short spur trail to the left leads to a small glacial pothole, one of the largest in New England. Burnt Rock Mountain is named for the fact that the bare summit, at only 3168', is well below the scrub line. The fantastic views take in peaks and ranges visible in most directions, including Camel's Hump and the Allens. Descend by the same route. From Waitsfield, go north on Rt. 100 to Center Fayston Road. Turn left onto Center Fayston Road and stay on that to Big Basin Road. Turn left onto Big Basin road and park at the end. 45 miles from BHC. Camel s Hump Trail Huntington Center Vermont, Difficult, 5.7 miles This 4,083 foot peak has a very unique summit cone that gives it its name.

    LONG TRAIL ACTIVITY BOOK by Dave Blumenthal Second Edition The Green Mountain Club The mission of the Green Mountain Club is to make the Vermont Mountains play a larger part in the life of the people by protecting and maintaining the Long Trail System and fostering, through education, the stewardship of Vermont’s hiking trails and mountains. The Green Mountain Club (GMC) primarily cares for the Long Trail. Additionally, GMC’s advocacy and education efforts safeguard Vermont’s many other hiking trails. GMC volunteers and staff teach low-impact prac- tices and safety skills that outdoor enthusiasts use whenever they hit the backwoods. Through its land protection program in northern Vermont, the Club has protected more than eighty miles of the Long Trail System and 25,000 acres of backcountry land. The Green Mountain Club maintains the Long Trail in cooperation with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and private landowners.

  • The Long Trail: Abbreviated
    The Long Trail: Abbreviated By: Aaron Shore 1950 LS10779_000 Purpose Hiking the Long Trail has been a dream of mine since I came to UVM four years ago. It is America’s oldest long-distance hiking trail, measuring 270 miles from Canada to Massachusetts. I created this scrapbook so others could share my experience, and learn the history of the trail. Enjoy. LS11220_000 Camel’s Hump, 1880 LS09840_000 Sunrise from Mansfield, 1875 I began my trip in southern Vermont with James Taylor and this image in mind. I wanted to be a part of the beauty that the Vermont landscape encompassed and was known for. James Taylor, a professor at the Vermont Academy, first conceived the trail in 1910. His goal was to “make the Vermont Mountains play a larger part in the life of the people.” LS12596_000 Camels Hump, 2004 Killington Peak, 1975 LS03624_000 A view from the top of Killington Peak. The reason James Taylor first conceived the Long Trail was because he couldn’t take his students into the wilderness without bushwhacking. He wanted to be able to travel from Killington Peak to Pico Peak, a short walk on a trail. During the first 10 days of my trip, I went from excited to dismal. I rarely saw anyone else on the trail and there were far more trees than mountain top views. I finally came across this nice women who told me about the Green Mountain Club (GMC). LS05755_000 Little Rock Pond, 1977 In 1911, a group of 23 people, including Mr. Taylor, got together in Burlington, VT and formed the GMC.
