If you’re planning on (or just interested in) going backpacking, join us for an equipped training hike on this moderate 4.5 mile loop around Lynn Woods, a reservation of 2,200 acres with over 30 miles of scenic trails and three active reservoirs.

With our gear, we'll start by the Rose Garden and loop counterclockwise, stopping for snacks half-way at Walden Pond. With less than 100 feet in elevation change, this is an ideal loop to train for backpacking. The anticipated pace will be 1.5 - 2 miles per hour (30 - 40 minutes per mile) with about 30 minutes for a snack break.
