Are you a fast hiker? I'm definitely not and but then again, I started at Amicalola and made it about 5 miles the first day. Second day only hiked 4 hours as it was raining and the going was hard. ...
I've seen several videos of bear encounters just this season so far. One shelter is closed near Daleville due to a pack of bears. A group came into the campsite and swiped at someone in a tent. ...

The window of opportunity opened and I felt if I didn't jump it may not come again. Ideally, I'd love to make it all the way. Realistically, I will take it step by step, day by day, etc. If I get...
Hi! My first post.
I've been wanting to do the AT for a long time now. But haven't seriously thought much towards making it a reality. My 14 y/o said she would like to go with me! But, that will...
