Long Trail and Appalachian Trail in Vermont
About Long Trail and Appalachian Trail in Vermont ....
Stretching the entire length of Vermont, the Long Trail stands as the oldest long-distance hiking trail in the United States. Crafted between 1910 and 1930 by the Green Mountain Club, this trail covers a remarkable 273 miles (439 km). In Vermont, it intersects with the Appalachian Trail (AT), commencing at the Massachusetts border, a short distance north of Mount Greylock. Over a span of 100 miles, the two trails converge, traversing southern Vermont in tandem. This shared footpath leads hikers across prominent peaks like Stratton and Bromley, allowing them to embrace the stunning landscapes and outdoor beauty that Vermont has to offer.

Looking for one day trip trails. moderate to challenging trails.
Stratton Mountain is a nice trip if you do the loop and check out Stratton Lake too. More challenging might be the AT from Woodford VT 9 to Glassenbury Mountain.
