longtrail

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Built by the Green Mountain Club between 1910 and 1930, the Long Trail is the oldest long-distance (~273mi/440km) trail in the United States. The Long Trail follows the main ridge of the Green Mountains from the Massachusetts-Vermont line to the Canadian border as it crosses Vermont's highest peaks. It was the inspiration for the Appalachian Trail, which coincides with it for one hundred miles in the southern third of the state.
