About the Long Trail*: The Long Trail, or LT, is the original and oldest long distance hiking trail in the United States. The 273-mile trail crosses south-to-north through the state of Vermont along the Green Mountains, from the Massachusetts border to the Canada border. The first 107 miles of the trail overlaps the famous Appalachian Trail. Countless hikers enjoy hiking anywhere from a few miles to the entire trail each year.
