Long Trail End-to-Ender's Event: Q&A Panel and Long Trail Guide Book Launch

Join us for our first in-person End to Enders Panel since 2019, and celebrate the launch of the newest edition of the Long Trail Guide! 

End to Ender Panel and Q&A

The Long Trail End-to-Ender Panel is an informative Q&A, show-and-tell style panel intended for folks to learn about backpacking in Vermont from experienced Long Trail Thru-Hikers. Wondering about the best lightweight tent or what to eat besides PB&J’s? Sign up to learn the ins and outs of a long-distance hike and get answers to all your questions about food, equipment, and planning as you prep for your Long Trail Hike! After a short panel, attendees will be able to chat with panelists one-on-one for more customized advice, see some of the gear and planning tools they used, and browse GMC resources.

Long Trail Guide Book Launch

The 29^th Edition of the Long Trail Guide is now available! GMC has published this comprehensive, dependable guide for more than 100 years. While apps and websites are aplenty, the handy paperback guide has everything you need to know to plan a successful Long Trail hike. It also reflects the most recent trail changes, including a new alignment of trails at Stratton Pond and new and relocated shelters. Before the panel, guidebook Editor Chloe Miller will give a short overview of the book, both historic and current, and books will be available to peruse or purchase after the panel concludes.
