Hiking/ Backpacking

Nestled in the heart of the Green Mountains and a short ride from the Adirondacks of New York and White Mountains of New Hampshire, Saint Michael's offers some the best hiking opportunities in New England. The WP offers programs for all ability levels from casual foliage hikes and sunset summits to intense multi-day experiences. Our emphasis is on fun; safety and developing a sense of environmental stewardship through Leave No Trace LNT skills and ethics. Our multi-day programs are designed to teach participants how to stay warm, dry and well fed so that they can enjoy their backcountry experience. Our instructors achieve this by focusing on a host of technical and outdoor living skills and drawing from a vast quantity of backcountry experience. All of our instructors have received extensive field and classroom training to include SOLO Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness First Responder or EMT.
