In this hike series, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. For this section, we are venturing into Connecticut! We’ll summit Fuller Mountain, then traverse over to Caleb’s Peak for a scenic view of the surrounding valley. And because our hike parallels the Housatonic River, we’ll be catching views of this winding river throughout our hike. This is a point-to-point hike, and there is no need to double-back or take other trails. The entire day is just the Appalachian Trail. Come explore the AT with us!

This is and INTERMEDIATE+ hike and may fell challenging due to he elevation gain, but we’ll keep the pace moderate!
