VT Green Mountain Club

Vermont Trail System – Hiking Advocate

The Green Mountain Club is dedicated to the care of Vermont’s Long Trail and is an advocacy and educator for Vermont’s hiking trails and trail systems. The GMC was formed when 23 progressively minded people gathered in Burlington Vermont on March 11, 1910. By 1912 a path was cleared from Sterling Pond to Camel’s Hump. In the decade that followed Green Mountain Club members built more than 200 miles of trail and overnight facilities. Ask us about the Vermont Green Mountain Club or share comments.

Green Mountain Club is a professionally staffed nonprofit organization committed to maintaining and protecting the Long Trail and advocating the hiking opportunities throughout Vermont.

The Vermont Legislature Form

In 1971, the Vermont Legislature passed a resolution, recognizing the Club as “the founder, sponsor, defender, and protector” of the Long Trail System and delegating to it responsibility for developing policies and programs for “the preservation, maintenance, and proper use of hiking trails for the benefit of the people of Vermont.” Although different generations of GMCers have faced different challenges–from pioneer trail blazing to environmental concerns and land acquisition–the Club’s main responsibility remains the same today as it was in 1910: to maintain and protect the Long Trail for all Vermonters, now and in the future.
