Massachusetts, Berkshires,
MA
Three-day, two-night trip along the Appalachian Trail in the southern Berkshires. We'll hike from the Conn. border north through Sages Ravine, over Race Mtn., Mt. Everett, and Jug End, then on to the Shays Monument. Optional side trip to Race Brook Falls on Saturday. Terrain is moderate to challenging, with numerous steep ascents and descents. Slow-moderate pace (about 1.8 mph moving and 1.2 overall), with distances of up to 8 miles each day. 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.
