Woodstock, 20 miles east of the Pass in the Ottauquechee Valley, is considered by some to be the most beautiful village in Vermont and has an all year 'round hotel, the Woodstock Inn, one of the finest in the State.

Auto stages connecting Rutland with Woodstock, Bethel, White River Junction and Montpelier, pass The Long Trail Lodge daily.

The Appalachian Trail in New England

The Appalachian Trail, a 2,100-mile through tramping route from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Mount Oglethorpe in Georgia, enters New England at Schaghticoke Mountain on the New York-Connecticut boundary. After crossing the northwestern corner of Connecticut, it follows the Berkshire highlands through Dalton and Cheshire and then swings over to the Greylock Range to Blackinton, where it joins The Long Trail at the Massachusetts-Vermont State line. It follows The Long Trail from the State line to Long Trail Lodge in Sherburne Pass, a distance of 100 miles. From this point, it turns eastward through English Mills, Vt., to Hanover and Glencleft, N. H., and thence on to the White Mountains. The Green Mountain Club maintains not only that part of the Appalachian Trail which coincides with The Long Trail between the Massachusetts-Vermont State line and Sherburne Pass, but also the 18 miles from Sherburne Pass to English Mills. The rest of the Trail between English Mills and Glencleft is maintained by the Dartmouth Outing Club.

As the Appalachian Trail is, like The Long Trail, a hikers' path, those who tramp The Long Trail will be interested in learning more about this trail
