Join us to meet other people in your town interested in backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. Talk about locations, equipment, recipes, etc., and find people to take trips with.

I've recently decided to hike the entire Appalachian Trail in sections. At first I will be planning day hikes, but just until the core group is developed. Then as we get further away from MD we will start doing some overnights on the trail.

If you have a hike that you would like to do, send me an e-mail so that it can be added to the calendar.

Well behaved trail dogs are welcome!

At first I will be cross posting these meet-ups with my other group "Hiking With Dogs" (http://hiking.meetup.com/492/) since that group is more established. But eventually this group will be focusing on more difficult hikes.

More upcoming Meetups

This group doesn't have any additional upcoming Meetups scheduled.

What's Meetup?

Maybe it's time for a little less face-to-screen and a little more face-to-face.

What's a Meetup Group?

Meetup Groups are today's support groups, parent playgroups, citizen groups, fitness groups, book clubs, professional groups, and other powerful local groups!
