Why this archive
The Green Mountain Club exists to bring the people to the Green Mountains and to make the Green Mountains accessible to the people. Our guides carry that work forward: each edition is a window into how the trail was maintained, protected, and loved in its own era.
By preserving and publishing them in full, we keep the record of the Long Trail open to the next hundred years of hikers — and to the scholars, storytellers, and curious minds in between.
