Catskills Basecamping Trip
Join Another Summit on a slow-paced, relaxing 3-day, 2-night basecamp-style backpacking trip in the Catskills over May 2nd - 4th.
This trip is perfect for beginner backpackers or those who are just looking to get away for the weekend and enjoy the stunning Catskill mountains before summer fully sets in. With basecamp-style backpacking trips like this one, you can enjoy all the aspects of a backcountry adventure while having more time to enjoy a good campsite, cook a fancy meal, or explore the area without all of your gear weighing you down.
On this trip, we'll hike a short ways into the Catskills, set up camp, and then we'll have the rest of our time there to relax, hang out, or hike to nearby peaks and waterfalls to enjoy the scenery.
