Discover the oldest long-distance hiking trail in the US in Vermont. The 273-mile Long Trail, with its steep and rocky terrain, is the perfect example of the breathtaking hiking opportunities offered by the Green Mountains.

Whether you're looking for a family-friendly nature walk or a sweaty and exposed overnight hike, Vermont has it all. Enjoy stunning views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks from Mt. Philo or spot Mt. Washington from the top of Camel's Hump. Take a refreshing dip in a bubbling river or stream or hike to scenic waterfalls.
