Backpack on the Appalachian Trail through scenic Beartown State Forest and East Mountain State Forest in the southern Berkshires. The trip is two days and one night, with daily mileage of 8 miles or less, and 13 total miles. The terrain is generally moderate, but we'll encounter a few challenging ascents and descents. Our pace will be slow-moderate (about 1.8 mph moving and 1.2 overall). Participants will need to have appropriate backpacking gear to be self-reliant on this multi-day trip, including food and water. A sense of humor, adventure, and fun is also required! Sign-up preference given to those who have completed this year's Worcester Chapter backpacking workshop. Others may register, but will be wait-listed until three weeks before the trip.
