Massachusetts, Berkshires,
MA
Backpack along one of the most fun and picturesque sections of the Appalachian Trail. This three-day, two-night trip in the southern Berkshires includes a night at the gem of the AT, the Upper Goose Pond campsite. Terrain is moderate to challenging, with a few challenging ascents and descents. Our total distance will be 26 miles at a slow-moderate pace (about 1.8 mph moving and 1.2 overall), with daily miles of 8-10. 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.
