Established in 1910 to build the Long Trail, the Green Mountain Club is a member-supported private non-profit organization. The GMC is dedicated to maintaining and protecting Vermont’s historic Long Trail, Appalachian Trail, and trails in the Northeast Kingdom. Every year more than 1,000 volunteers work so that future generations will enjoy the 500-mile Long Trail System.

The GMC provides up-to-date hiking information through its maps and guidebooks, and through its staff of information specialists.  The GMC Visitor Center offers a short hiking trail, picnic area, and hiker information. Open daily 9am-5pm, mid-May to mid-October.  Open M-F, 9am-5pm in winter.
