This is our 2 night backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail for qualified backpackers! We will hike 7.5 miles Saturday (Sleep in camping area 1/2 mile south of Blue Mountain Lakes Road), 7.5 miles Sunday (Sleep in camping spots near Brink Road Shelter), and finish the trip with 3.5 miles on Monday morning. Weigh your packs again at home to make sure you are at the correct weight. (20% of body weight minus 2 lbs for tent). If you borrowed any gear (backpacks, stove, mats, stuff sacks) from the GSNNJ Loaner Program, we will collect the gear at the end of THIS trip. Please be prepared with a bag to put your personal items in to take home.
