About this trip

Have you ever wanted to take your day hiking to the next level? Not sure how to tackle an overnight hike or a multi-day trip? Then this is the course for you!


We meet in the morning at the Dunnfield Creek Trailhead in NJ for a gear overview, trail ethics, [Leave No Trace](https://lnt.org/) and other basics of backpacking. From there we begin our journey North on the Appalachian Trail through a beautiful section of New Jersey. We then spend the night in a backcountry campsite along the trail, waking up early to begin our hike through the Delaware Water Gap around Sunfish Pond. From here our trip starts heading South on another trail in the area along the ridge. All ages. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.


Rates: $325 per person


Course Length: 2 days (1 night)
