VT Edition: The Long Trail

For nearly a century, Vermont’s Long Trail has inspired hikers to explore the Green Mountains. The 272 mile footpath stretches along the main ridge of the Green Mountains, from the Massachusetts border to the Canadian border. A new book put out by the Green Mountain Club, A Century in the Mountains: Celebrating Vermont’s Long Trail, chronicles the trail’s first 100 years, from its creation to how it’s used today. VPR’s Jane Lindholm talks with the book’s editor, Tom Slayton about the Long Trail and what it means to the Green Mountains.
