Hampton to Damascus, pretty easy hiking, beautiful scenery.

Fall is a awesome time to hike. Just keep your phone handy and keep a eye on the weather. You can always get off the trail if you need to. :)

The AT runs right into Pearisburg. We parked are car there at a hotel within walking distance of the trail and they charged us like 5 bucks didnt care how long we were gone. Can't think of the name...

I am a slow hiker my son gave me the trail name Turtle because I'm so slow checking out everything around me as I hike. I like reading about everyone's experience thou fast or slow.

Three hours to the nearest trail entrance is Newfoundland Gap. Not my favorite place to hike since there is so many people.

Sounds like a great time to start your hike. Those that start in early march deal with a lot of cold weather, snow and just winter scenery. You want to hike but you want to enjoy the hike also.

Pay attention to every water stop listed and refill your bottle to the top.

Tent, I like a little privacy and i don't care to hear others snoring or having mice as my bedmates.

My son started a thru hike two springs ago and the age of 19 and he was also hiking alone. I was scared for him so I know what your mother is going through. There is nothing she can do thou except...

We used him a couple times last week. He shuttles you for a very reasonable price and lets you know that he is there for anything you might need. He was AWESOME.

No problems with the boobs and I always wear a sports bra. One thing about the trail is you can always move on if someone is making you uncomfortable and nobody thinks twice about it. Don't worry...

Hiked some there this past spring. Shuttles from the towns are very expensive because its such a long drive. There was two of us and since the AT crosses Skyline Drive so many times we ended up...

I am a middle aged woman that section hikes on the AT. I have never felt unsafe on the trail and have never had any problems. It is a absolutely beautiful trail and you will meet a lot of wonderful...

I have never been to that hostel (actually I have never been to any hostel) they don't care if you leave your car parked there? Do they have someone available that I could pay to shuttle us around?

Hike through that area last spring. Between the recreation area and the shelter there was some pretty creepy looking people that had there tents set up along the trail. We just kept moving and...

I am planning a section hike in a few weeks around the Pearisburg, VA area. Does anyone out there know anything about the parking area at Stony Creek Valley on VA 635? Will it be safe to leave my...

I also had trouble with plantar fasciitis and then about five years ago I started taking yoga classes a couple times a week. Then one day I noticed it hadn't bothered me since I started the classes...

My son uses them to hike and won't hike without them. I didn't like carrying them instead I just picked me up a good stick and made it into my walking stick. It really came in handy with keeping...

Go for it...... you can always take it easy or even go home and take a break!
