Long Trail Day Hikes Registration

Come celebrate Long Trail Day with the Green Mountain Club by joining us for a hike! Whether you are a registered Long Trail Day participant or not, we hope that you will participate. 

All hike groups will gather at the Barnes Camp Visitor Center on Route 108. Be prepared to leave for your hike at 10 a.m. unless otherwise noted. Parking is available in the Stowe Mountain Resort parking lot across the street from the Visitor Center.

Current hikes planned are:

• Mount Mansfield Ridgeline, Alpine Zone Flora Tour with State Botanist Bob Popp (~2 miles, easy, limit 10. Hikers will carpool to the top of Mansfield via the Toll Road. Meet at Barnes Camp.)
• Taylor Lodge led by Maggie Twitchell of Backpacking for Slowpokes (Slow hikers encouraged! Moderate 3.2 mile out-and-back with 780' elevation gain.) MEET AT LAKE MANSFIELD TROUT CLUB AT 10:30 AM FOR THE HIKE TO TAYLOR LODGE
• Sterling Pond Loop (2.4 miles; 930’ elevation gain, moderate) with Mel Thibeault, founder of Queer Hikes
• Mansfield Summit via Long Trail South (6 miles, difficult) with Long Trail Fastest Known Time Record Holder Liz Derstine (Starts at 11 a.m.)

Please choose your desired hike at checkout on the next page so we can get an expected headcount for each hike. Groups of larger than ten will be split into two to reduce impact on the trail resource. We will send an email with carpooling and hike details prior to the event. 

We can't wait to see you out there!
