Members of our team, the Bread Loaf Loafers, were excited to come together to participate in Long Trail Day Hike-a-Thon, a fundraiser supporting Green Mountain Club. As a maintaining section, we understand how hard it is to maintain the Long Trail System. Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.
Our section hosted three different hikes on Long Trail Day and then came together in Middlebury to share stories and quench our thirst. The hikes were varying lengths; one at Bristol Cliffs and two on the Long Trail. Please consider joining a hike. For all hike details check Sept. 20th on our website calendar.
We raised $1,451 with your help. You can still donate here and help us get all the way to our goal.
Thank you so much for your support! Hope to see you on the trail!
Middlebury College has donated a right-of-way to the GMC to permanently protect the Long Trail where it crosses over the college's land in and around the Middlebury Snowbowl. Read more about this gracious gift in our Winter 2024-2025 newsletter
At our Annual meeting, geology professor Will Amidon discussed how the landscapes of west-central Vermont evolved over geologic time. The talk drew on examples from popular outdoor destinations illustrated with geologic maps and high-resolution LiDAR-based topography. Amidon is a geologist who grew up in Charlotte Vermont, and now teaches at Middlebury.
Lying north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska, Gates of the Arctic is situated in the central Brooks Range—the northernmost extension of the Rocky Mountains. It is the second-largest and least-visited national park in the United States; containing over 7 million acres of untouched wilderness with no roads or trails. Highlights of the trip included rafting the Alatna and Noatak Rivers and backpacking over the Continental Divide. All are welcome at GMC Bread Loaf Section events.
