Note that among Wesleyan’s undergraduate colleges, there is the College of the Environment. And the Appalachian Trail, which passes through CT for about 50 miles, is great for long distance backpacking/hiking/camping trips and drive is just a 1.5 hour drive from campus to multiple access points. Much state forest land is available for day hikes closer to campus.
