In this hike series, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. For this adventure, we are tackling a Pennsylvania section. This is a beautiful ridge hike, with very moderate elevation gain. We will also experience the famous Rocksylvania.This is the perfect introduction to INTERMEDIATE-level hikes and the AT series. Because this is a point-to-point hike, there is no need to double-back. It’s the Appalachian Trail, and it’s new places all day long. Come explore the AT with us!
