Appalachian Trail

My first trip on the AT was with two of my friends and we did the 75 miles between Troutdale, VA and the Tennessee State Line.

It was a experience that has never let go now ever year I take one of my vacations to hike the AT, I suggest that everyone who loves the outdoors at least do a section hike somewhere on the trail. At the top of Mt. Rogers (Virginias Highest Point) the woods turns into open field that’s full of wild ponies that just roam around without a care in the world.

On the Trail we ran into some of the nicest people who talked to us like we were old friends from suggests on how to make the AT easier to the everyday trials and tribulations of life. It was amazing !!!!!

Chances are that of your on the east coast you have a part of the AT near you somewhere. So take a weekend loop hike!!!! Its sweet

I’ve hiked the trail in Georgia and Maine – but nothing in between. Lots of fun though!

Even though I’m not in the least bit athletic, I’d love to hike the Appalachian Trail. I just think it would be a wonderful experience and a chance to grow and learn on my own.

I’ll probably never find the time, but I still want to go. It’s one of my hidden obsessions, but maybe I’ll work up the courage to mention it to a few of my friends and maybe get a group together so we can all go hike it as a team. That would be nice. :)

i only hiked on about 1/4 of the whole thing, but parts of it were really hard and it took 4 hours to go just one and a half miles on this one part of it

looking back on it, it was fun, but when i was there i didnt have any water and thought i would never make it through

Peaceful hiking. Love the streams! My ex-husband and I back packed for a week on this trail. I was the best vacation I ever took!

The photo is actually from the PA portion of the trail. It’s a lovely thing to do: hiking the trail, whether you’re doing part or the whole. The best part is stopping at the shelters to read the entries of those who have come before you.

i want to start with hiking all of the Virginia section. i have done alot of it already… perhaps someday i’ll do the whole thing.

someday I’d like to hike the whole thing.
