Hike the Green Mountains through forests and peaks on the Long Trail. The Long Trail is the oldest long-distance hiking trail in the United States. It follows the Green Mountains for 270 miles (430 km), crossing the state of Vermont from Massachusetts to Canada.

The Long Trail Map
How can I get it?
The Long Trail map is available as an in-app purchase in our Guthook Guides app, a free download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
Our iOS and Android apps do differ slightly in their appearance. However, the majority of their features remain the same, and they access the same trail guide data.
The original inspiration for the Appalachian Trail, the Long Trail runs the length of the state of Vermont, at about 270 miles from the Massachusetts border to the Canadian border. The southern 100 miles of the LT coincide with the AT, but the northern portion of the LT is generally considered much more challenging and remote than the southern end.
