Description: New to backpacking? Want to explore one of New England's longer distance trails? This trip is for you! Our trip will begin at the foot of Mt. Monadnock and travel northward over rolling terrain to the town of Nelson, NH. As a group, we will hike at a slow to mod pace (1.0-1.5mph) with frequent stops so we can enjoy the beautiful woods around us. There will be many other interesting and unique features to be seen! The daily mileage is about 5-7 miles/day with a total trip mileage of approximately 11miles. Some parts of the trip is a road walk (either dirt or pavement). The trip will require an early meet time on Saturday to drop off cars at the starting and ending locations. Participants must have appropriate backpacking gear for this one night, two-day trip, including food and water. We will work with you to develop hard skills to learn how to use your gear proficiently. Heavy rain/T-storms cancels. Sign-up preference given to those who have completed this year's Worcester Chapter Inner Backpacker workshop. Others may register but will be wait-listed until July 25. Trip limited to 7 participants. Registration is a two part process. A questionnaire will be sent to you upon application for this trip. Registration closes on July 27.
