Registration is required for this activity.

Overview

This two-day, one-night backpack will cover a less-traveled part of the Appalachian Trail in the Berkshires (by section hikers, anyway!). We'll hike from Cheshire to Dalton, covering a total of 12 miles over fairly easy to moderate terrain. We'll maintain a slow-to-moderate pace (about 1.8 mph moving and 1.2 overall). In addition to some excellent scenery, count on some added attractions, including a lunch stop in town and adult beverage tasting in camp (responsibly, of course). 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.
