Hi all,

New to the forums.Long time avid hiker and backpacker.Looking to do an overnighter on the Appalachian trail on the way to Bear mountain in CT.

Researching online I found there are designated sites on Paradise lane a bit after the trail head to bear mountain.Though there is no specific info on the sites etc.

Perhaps someone can be kind enough to give some information
Are there any permits required?
Bear containers?
Are there any nice camp/bivy spots towards the summit of Bear mountain?
I will be bringing a backpacking stove as I read camp fires are not permitted in CT.

Thank you in advance,
GMM
