I found myself wanting the trail to continue . . . Hiking the entire 270 miles of the Long Trail from the Massachusetts to the Canadian border, is a unique and wonderful experience. People of all ages and backgrounds can be found amongst the list of Long Trail end to enders. Many do it in one hike, taking anywhere from 20 to 30 days. Still others take 20 years to complete the 270 mile trek.
Most hikers hike from shelter to shelter stringing together many hiking days at a time.
Others complete the trail by taking only day hikes. There is no prescibed mode for doing in, only that you cover the entire length of the trail on foot.
