About The Event

Backpack along the Appalachian Trail through Kent and close to the New York 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 Housatonic River nearby.

This 15.1 mile out-and-back trip will bring us through highlights such as Calebs Peak and St John's Ledges dense woodlands and include a relaxing saunter along the Housatonic River. For a look at the elevation profile for this trip click here.

- 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
