Long is a long, steep out-and-back hike in Vermont's Rochester Ranger District, part of the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests. The route starts at about 2,800 feet and climbs steadily to a high point of 3,153 feet, with a total elevation gain of 6,631 feet over the full round trip. That makes it a serious challenge, and the Forest Service manages the land. The hike is 38.4 miles long, and the estimated time is about 16 hours. The climb is steady, so plan for a full day or more. The trailhead sits in the Rochester Ranger District, and the nearest town is Rochester. The Long Trail passes about a mile away, and Chittenden Brook is a short hike at 0.9 miles. Chittenden Brook Campground is 2.1 miles off, and the Chittenden Bouldering climbing area is 2.6 miles away.
