So, I had the opportunity to hike Masada in Israel last year and I thought that it would be a good experience to share with my Appalachian Trail family. My trip cost was mostly covered by sponsors with the exception of my food expenses. The trip included bicycling, hiking, and camping in the dessert. I think this is a great opportunity for the hiking community. There are very few requirements to meet. The age requirement is the hardest one for people to meet. Age restriction is ages 16-26. The other requirements can easily be met by anyone. If anyone in the trail community is interested, please message me or post your thoughts below.
