section hike the AT

I have done some day hiking and car camping, but never really backpacked. I would like to give it a shot.

The Appalachian Trail in Maryland follows a forty-mile route along the backbone of South Mountain, a north-south ridge that extends from Pennsylvania to the Potomac River. This section is great for three- or four-day trips, is easy by A.T. standards, and is a good place to find out if you’re ready for more rugged parts of the Trail. You are required to stay at designated shelters and campsites
Maybe this summer…...
