Pemigewassett Backpacking

One of the only orientation trips to venture into New Hampshire, this backpacking trip takes students into the heart of the White Mountains.

The Pemi Loop is a well known New Hampshire backpacking adventure. On this trip, students will work together to successfully complete the challenging Pemi Loop - a 32 mile loop with significant elevation change. Participants will backpack along ridgelines, traversing between some of New Hampshire's tallest peaks, which are over 4000 feet. 

Participants should expect to move camp every day and carry packs up to 45 pounds.
