About The Event

Backpack along the Appalachian Trail through Salisbury and close to the Massachusetts border while you learn and practice new skills, test out gear and enjoy some of the best views in the area. Sleep under the stars to the sounds of the forest. This 16.5 mile out-and-back trip will bring us to highlights along the Riga Plateau including Lions Head and Connecticut's highest peak, Bear Mountain.
