About The Event
Join Reach Your Summit for a 2 Day/1 Night one-of-a-kind backpacking adventure to celebrate National Trails Day! Now in our fourth year of offering backpacking since its inception for NTD (CT Trails Weekend), this annual tradition will bring us to a quiet section of Connecticut within Nipmuck State Forest for 2020. This moderate/challenging 35.8 mile lollipop loop backpacking trip passes through thick forest, by multiple waterside views and into two states. The trip will offer a deeper connection to ourselves, nature, each other and the communities through which we travel. Highlights include: Bigelow Hollow, Breakneck Pond, pine forests, glacial rock formations, state forests, a possible bear/moose sighting and more.
