Pre-Order: Long Trail Guide, 29th Edition (2025) 

Long Trail Guide (29th Edition, coming 2025) 

In 1917, GMC published the first guidebook to the Long Trail as a resource for the partially built trail. For more than 100 years, GMC has faithfully updated and published this reliable guidebook, now expanded to cover the 272-mile Long Trail, its side trails, and the entire Appalachian Trail in Vermont.  

The 29th Edition includes the latest changes in trail layout and reflects a boom of shelter construction over the last five years. Full color maps, photographs, and inspirational quotes from End-to-Enders will give you the tools and inspiration you need to plan a successful hike on the Long Trail – whether it is one mile or the entire length of Vermont. 

When you purchase publications from GMC, you are supporting the work that goes into caring for the Long Trail System and keeping it a free and open resource. 

Pre-Order now: Pre-orders will ship within two weeks of the book’s publication, estimated to be mid-March 2025.
