Height of the Land
Feel the satisfaction of completing a section of the Appalachian Trail, enjoy beautiful vistas, and get to know a group of peers as you experience the western mountains of Maine.
This backpacking trip takes students through the lush forests and rolling terrain of the Western Mountains just outside Grafton Notch State Park. Participants will travel up to ten miles per day, and the terrain is not as strenuous as some of our other backpacking options.
Participants should expect to move camp everyday and carry packs up to 45 pounds.
