Long Trail Day is a Hike-a-Thon for Vermont's Trails
Long Trail Day is a Hike-a-Thon for Vermont's Trails
We are excited to come together on Sept. 19th to participate in Long Trail Day Hike-a-Thon, a fundraiser supporting Green Mountain Club. As a maintaining section, we understand how hard it is to maintain the Long Trail System. Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.
Our section will celebrate by hosting three different hikes and a PARTY to celebrate the Long Trail.
Please join us on one of the hikes below:
Emily Proctor Camp; Cooley Glen Loop, Lincoln - 13 miles.
This is a strenuous hike connecting the Emily Proctor Trail and Cooley Glen Trail via the Long Trail. The hike climbs over Mts Roosevelt and Wilson. Elevation gain is more than 2,000 feet. An early start is planned. Contact Ellen Cronan at (908) 595-2926
Sunset Ledge and Mt. Grant, Lincoln/Ripton ~ 8 miles.
Moderate out and back hike with great western views at Sunset ledge and then on to the Bread Loaf wilderness and Mt. Grant in the Vermont Presidential range. Elevation gain is about 1,200 feet. Contact Ken Corey at (802) 349-3733 or kencorey53@gmail.com.

All are welcome at the after-party! Please join in at Hogback Mountain Brewing, 372 Rockydale Rd, Bristol, VT 05443, from 4pm - 7pm. We will gather to share stories of the day, of Long Trail adventures and to enjoy our collective company along the New Haven river.
