Description

We're not going to focus on high mileage, but enjoying the hiking and camping. Friday: 3 mile afternoon hike to Rice Fields Saturday: 5 miles Symm's Gap Sunday: 7.5 miles Pine Swamp Monday: 0.5 mile Trailhead If you've never backpacked before, this could be a good introductory experience. Mileage with a pack on is different than regular hiking. Temperatures will still be quite cold, we'll want to make sure you have the right gear for the weather. Gear borrowing may be possible if you register early. Gear rental from Venture Out should also be arranged earlier (rather than later).


What You Should Bring

We'll communicate with registrants about gear.
