Join us for a hike on probably the most famous trail in the USA. Here’s your opportunity to hike a part of the historic Appalachian Trail. Please note this is NOT a beginners hike. This section of the trail has a lot of up and down elevation changes. You should only hike it if you have had experience hiking with us before and have a fairly good fitness level.
The Appalachian Trail is around 2,200+ mile (3,500 km) long public footpath that traverses the scenic, wooded, pastoral, wild, and culturally resonant lands of the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, generally known as the Appalachian Trail or simply the A.T., is a white-blazed marked hiking trail in the Eastern United States extending between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is the longest hiking-only trail in the world. More than 3 million people are said to take a hike on part of the trail at least once each year.
We will be hiking the section from Tesnatee Gap to Neels Gap. This is a distance of about 7 to 8 miles. Although this is a tough section, it has some great scenic views. We will need to shuttle cars between the two locations so please be prepared for a wait at either end as we drop and pick up cars.
