Appalachian Trail

The Appalachian Trail is a 2185.9 mile long footpath stretching from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine. Every Spring, hikers from all over head to Georgia and start walking north, attempting to hike the whole trail in one season. This is called a thru-hike. Only about 25% make it all of the way.

This blog follows our progress as we hike north.

Springer

After walking for a day we reached the start of the trail. The AT officially starts at the top of Springer Mt, which we reached this morning. We are camped for the night at Hawk Mt shelter 8.1 miles in from Springer.  After the storm last night today was a perfect day to walk in the mountains.
