背包客: hiking from campus, backpackers head to Mount Monadnock and then either turn north on the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway or south on the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail. 典型的 distance is 25-30 miles of backpacking.
划皮船: water level determines the river system we use. In high water we venture down the Ashuelot River starting in Surry, NH. In medium water we head down the Baker River 到Pemigewasset中. In dry summers we stick to the Pemigewasset the entire time. The kayakers also venture about 30 miles.
