The Long Trail

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! 2nd-6th graders wore pedometers during P.E. in October and recorded the steps that they took each class. Our challenge was to see if we could cover the length of the Long Trail before the all-school Enchanted Forest Hike.

There are about 2000 steps in a mile.

The Long Trail is 272 miles.

272 x 2000=544,000 steps

UPDATE: We completed our challenge 2 times! That means we walked from the bottom to the top of Vermont then back down to the bottom. Our final total as a school was 1,090,278 steps!
