High AdventureTroop 771 has a rich history of participation at BSA High Adventure camps. Our Troop demographic is very young and we will have greater eligibility starting in 2013. Over the next two years we will attempt segments of the Appalachian Trail.
July 2011 - Franconia Notch NH to Pinkham Notch NH
This 53-miler begins at the trailhead of the Appalachian Trail near Franconia Notch and starts with a steady climb north following the AT's trademark white blazes to Mount Lafayette. The trail continues along rocky Garfield Ridge down to Galehead Hut and past Zealand Falls Hut, climbs to Mizpah Spring Hut, then traverses to Lakes of the Clouds Hut, climbs over the summit of Mount Washington, and follows the above-tree line tundra of the Presidential Range's high peaks to Madison Hut. The hike ends with a tricky, rocky descent to Pinkham Notch. See: http://www.scoutingmagazine.org/issues/0203/a-five.html
July 2012 - Mary-Jo Road to Mt. Katahdin ME
This 53.2-mile section is wild and remote, stringing together the 100-Mile Wilderness to Mount Katahdin, the highest point in Maine and the northern-most point on the Appalachian Trail. See: http://bp2.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/47920
