Appalachian Backpacking

Setting up camp     

Ready to take on the Appalachian Trail? On this trip, we'll spend our week covering 50 miles hiking and camping in lean-to shelters maintained by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. This trip is a great introduction to all things backpacking, including Leave No Trace camping, outdoor cooking, and the ins and outs of the trail. We'll have the oppurtunity to switch it up during the week and try rock climbing for a day at Annapolis Rocks, one of the best scenic overlooks on the trail.


This trip is Waitlist Only!
