BACKPACKING
I grew up camping from a very young age, but I’d never been backpacking until my senior year of high school. My dad had always wanted to go and he decided that the whole family was going to spend spring break giving it a try. We had a mixture of gear from Aldi, Walmart, and various rental sources but we successfully did 4 days on the Appalachian Trail. As painful as some of that trip was, it still got me hooked!
Backpacking the Appalachian Trail
Running over 2100 miles from Georgia to Maine, there are countless places for you to plan a trip. The AT is great for 1 night trips, long weekend trips, longer trips over a few weeks, or you can go crazy and take a few months to thru hike!
