Appalachian Trail: SOBO in the Berkshires | Massachusetts to Connecticut (MA to CT) (Part 2)

Join me as we hike southbound (SOBO) on the Appalachian Trail from Great Barrington, Massachusetts to Kent, Connecticut. It's five days and fifty miles of autumn backpacking adventure through the southern Berkshires. Highlights of this section hike include foggy ridge walks, a few challenging river crossing and peaceful miles along the Housatonic River.

This video includes the final three days of the trip. We wake in the newly reconstructed Riga Shelter, traverse some foggy ridges, finally get the downpour of rain we've been expecting, take refuge in the yard of a Trail Angel in Falls Village and enjoy fall foliage and hiking along the Housatonic River.
