The Long Trail

6th Graders, Can We Hike The Long Trail?

The Long Trail is a hiking trail in Vermont that runs all the way from the top to the bottom of the state. It is 272 miles! As a 6th grade, we are going to keep track of the miles we have hiked or walked to see if we can cover the length of the Long Trail.

What To Do:

Go for a hike or walk and keep track of the distance with an app or a map. In your exit ticket, put how many steps or miles you moved. It will get added to the total. As we hike more, we will move our place marker along the route.

Our Progress (as of 4/12):

There are about 2000 steps in a mile.

The Long Trail is 272 miles.

272 x 2000=544000

We have walked 128,971 steps. That is approximately 64.49 miles.

We have 207.51 miles left.
