Backpacking Fundamentals & Skills: Mount Greylock

Hike through boreal forest to an isolated massif with sweeping views of the deep valley below and surrounding mountain peaks. Mount Greylock is the highest peak in Massachussetts (3,491ft) and is also home to a section of the Appalachian Trail. Take a weekend crash course in a beautiful wild setting while you practice and hone new skills.

This 10.5 mile loop trip will bring us all over the mountain and include a couple of additional nearby peaks, as well as some time on the historic Hopper Trail.

​

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
