This Summer… Appalacian Trail.
Nathanael Berends October 31st, 2006
I just discovered how I would like to spend my week-long vacation this summer.
I am going to hike the Appalacian Trail. More specifically, I am going to attempt to hike from Pawling, New York (accesable by Fung-Wah to Grand Central Station, then the Metro-North Rail Line of the MTA) to Great Barrington, Massachusetts (from where I can take a bus back into Boston’s South Station). In all, by road, the hike is 58.3 miles. I would expect the trail to be a bit longer, though not by much.
My first step, I have decided, is to join the Boston chapter of The Appalacian Mountain Club. $25 for students. Not too shabby. I imagine that getting some advice on this trip would be a good idea.
In all, a very doable trip, I think.
More info to come.
