Backpacking Fundamentals & Skills On The Appalachian Trail/Mohawk Trail

Backpack along the Mohawk Trail (formerly part of the Appalachian Trail) and Appalachian Trail while you learn and practice new skills, test out gear and enjoy views of the Housatonic River Valley. This 38.5 mile loop trip will bring us by one of the Top 5 waterfalls in CT as we travel through a ravine, to incredible overlooks, dense woodlands, multiple points of interest and a popular ski area.

- Beginner backpacker who wants to improve know-how

- Intermediate backpacker who wants to improve skills and modernize gear
