Backpacking Fundamentals & Skills In The White Mountains

Backpack along the Appalachian Trail while you learn and practice new skills, test out gear and enjoy some of the best views in the area, including a 360 panorama from a beautiful alpine tundra environment.

This 13.2 mile out-and-back trip will bring us by waterfalls, through dense woodlands, alpine tundra and to the rains of an old summit house along the top of one of the White Mountains isolated peaks, Mt Moosilauke.

This trip is open to all though you will most likely find it suitable if you are:

- First-time backpacker with some day-hiking, car-camping experience and are interested in learning to go on more overnight or multi-day trips

- Beginner backpacker who wants to improve know-how

- Intermediate backpacker who wants to improve skills and modernize gear
