## Vermont Long Trail Section

A 228 km Vermont segment of the legendary 3,500 km Appalachian Trail, which runs from Georgia to Maine along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains. This stretch crosses the Green Mountains, rolling ridgelines, and classic white blaze country that defines AT thru hiker culture.

Best window is June through early October, as shoulder seasons bring mud and exposed ridgelines stay cold. Shelters are first come first served and fill fast on weekends, so carry a tent as backup.
