The Glastenbury Wilderness is one of eight wilderness areas in the Green Mountain National Forest in the U.S. state of Vermont. The area, located northeast of Bennington, Vermont, is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. With a total of 22330 acre, the wilderness is the second largest in Vermont (next to the Breadloaf Wilderness). It was created by the New England Wilderness Act of 2006. The Long Trail (which coincides with the Appalachian Trail in this region) crosses the entire length of the wilderness from south to north. The wilderness is traversed by several other hiking trails including the Bald Mountain Trail, the West Ridge Trail, and the Little Pond Trail. The hilly terrain of the area includes several summits surpassing 2000 ft in elevation. The highest peak is Glastenbury Mountain at 3748 ft, which is located at the north end of the wilderness, although the actual summit is just outside its boundary.
