F101 | Day Hikes on the Appalachian Trail | Bess Dillman
CLOSED - AT CAPACITY |
|
This
class will be a series of four day hikes on the Appalachian Trail which runs
from Maine to Georgia; 90- plus miles are in Berkshire County. We will start at
10 a.m. and be back to the cars about 2 p.m. We each bring our own water and
lunch and eat it on the trail. Each hike will be approximately 5-6 miles long
and cover varied terrain from easy to moderate to strenuous. You must have, in
the last few months, hiked this distance and be capable on hilly, rocky
terrain. Please reach out through the OLLI office with any questions. The hikes
will be on sections of the trail throughout the county.
