Fall 2024 Speaker Series – The Velomont: Creating the Largest Hut-Supported Trail System in the U.S. with RJ Thompson
November 6 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Imagine a continuous trail and conservation corridor that links mountain ridges to Vermont villages, all supported by a backcountry hut network. This ambitious project has the potential to conserve landscapes, connect communities, build economies, and create an incredible recreational resource. This is the Velomont. The Velomont invites people on bikes, skis, and foot to one day explore 485 miles of trail which will connect 30-45 backcountry huts & downtown hostels and 27 communities, potentially conserving over 200,000 acres of crucial wildlife corridor. When complete, the Velomont will represent the largest hut-supported trail network in the United
States – and the public can already enjoy select huts connected by new trail segments.
