i've only done a couple sections, but so far, my favorite is Damascus, VA to Grayson Highlands, probably, in part, b/c it's the first section of the AT I...
my best section and there have not been that many is in the smokies around the sawteeth but only because of the LeConte view from the A T. over by big bald...
It was great to hear my 25 yr. olds voice a week into his hike with his friend on the trail. Yet due to an unbalanced heavy pack he fell about 4-5 times....

Hi there, I'm new to this group, but I thought this would be a great resource for tips on the AT. My husband and I are planning a 5-day hike on the AT in early...

Hi All, Don't recall if I shared this or not. Apologies if I did. Took along a mini-gnome on a small section of the AT from about Spence Field to Clingman's...
I am with a coed Ventruring crew who would like to do a section of the trail during Memorial Day Weekend. We are in Ma. and are new to the trial I have some...
Being in Mass., you certainly have lots of trail nearby. Much of northern New England is pretty tough hiking, so I personally would rule out New Hampshire...
