News from GMC & our trail partners

Vermont Dept. of Forests, Parks & Recreation (FPR) news can be used to reserve a campsite as well as provide a rich set of resources and information.

Long Trail Day is September 21st. Last year we raised almost $2,000. Let's beat that in 2024!

Long Trail Day is the GMC's largest fundraising event and is critical to supporting the trails, and the largely volunteer organization.  Please consider joining a hike and donating to the cause. 

There are 4 separate Bread Loaf Section hikes as well as our get together at Drop in Brewing after the hiking is all done. Look at the calendar for the details.

Ivor Hughes, a well-known hike leader from Monkton, has generously provided the Bread Loaf Section with a dozen of his highly entertaining and educational "movies," documenting his recent backpacking trips with friends. 

Watch virtually anytime & from anywhere!
