Hi all,
I'm new to the area and was wondering if anyone knows of a nice short loop backpacking trip based somewhere on or around the midstate trail? I live in Boston, and would like to go somewhere scenic, without traveling more than 1.5 hours.
In particular, I'm looking for the following:
Length: 5-10 Mi (total)
Difficulty: Easy - Moderate
Days: 1 Night
Camping: Either campsite or backcountry - practicing LNT : )
Water Source: Can treat wilderness sources, prefer to camp near this
I'm trying to keep things easy, as I'm taking my younger sister who has no backpacking experience. I also want to test my new tarptent before trying anything extreme in the Whites!
