My state trail classifications of the Apalaches

Virginia was my favorite state in the AT. I loved the relatively easy land, incredible views, excellent cities of trails and incredible shelters. The path was well maintained throughout the state and I didn’t have to work very hard for some incredible views. My favorite sections in the state were Grayson Highlands, the VA Triple Crown (Dragon’s Tooth, McAfee Knob and Tinker Cliffs) and the Shenondoah National Park. My favorite paths included Damascus, Marion, Daleville and Front Royal. My favorite shelters were the Merry Hiker shelter, Woods Hole, Beech Hill Hostel and Mountain Home. This was the state in which I felt that I became a real through a trip.

New Hampshire was the most physically challenging state in the AT, but had the best opinions. The state begins in Hanover, which is the home of Dartmouth College. I ate in the dining room there and it was my favorite food stop throughout the path. From there I went to the white mountains. White mountains are the best section of the AT. The climbs are full of Revueltas and Boulder, but they were very funny. Francia Ridge and the presidential mountain range were from another world. It was one of the most incredible walks I have made in my life. He felt as if he were walking on the moon.

Maine was full of high and low minimum. This was the most mentally challenging state on the way to me. After New Hampshire, my body was very tired and the path continued to be very difficult. I think that southern Maine is the most difficult section of the path on the AT. My favorite mountains in the state were the goose, Baldpate, The Bigelows, White Cap and Katahdin peaks. The views from these peaks were impressive. Katahdin was my favorite mountain throughout the path. All ponds made the state unique. I could swim almost every day. Maine was also the home of my favorite hostel, Shaw’s. Maine is not higher on my list due to errors, river crossings and the very challenging terrain.

North Carolina is where I began to enter large mountains with incredible views. I loved the Calds and the Towers of Fire. Some of the best were Albert Mountain Fire Tower, Siler Bald, Wayah Bald and Wesser Bald. Capboy camped at the top of the bald and was one of my favorite nights along the way. I really liked some of the villages and hostels of trails in North Carolina. The best trail cities were Franklin, Hot Springs and Fontana Dam. The best shelter was Rambling Roots. NC also includes the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The most prominent aspects of the park were Rocky Top, Clingmans Dome (higher point in the AT) and the magic of paths in Newfound Gap.

Tennessee and North Carolina were very similar. North Carolina had a better managed path and more views that stood out for me. The shelters in Tennessee did not have deprived either. The path comes and goes between the two states for a long time. During the entire length of the smoks, the path follows the border. The best parts of the state included the highlands of Roan, the desert of Pond Mountain and the Lake Watauga. There were also three incredible shelters in the state. They were uncle Johnny, the shelter and the button.

Vernont was a very funny state for me. I met many new people in Vermont and we walked the whole state together. During the first half of the state it rained almost every day. My feet were soaked and covered with mud all the time. I hugged the conditions and really enjoyed it. My favorite places in the state were Glastenbury Mountain, Stratton Mountain, Bromley Mountain and Killington Peak. Those mountains had some incredible views, but most of the state was a green tunnel. Capboy camped at the top of Killington Peak and was my favorite camp on the entire path. He turned around in the morning and I saw the craziest sun increase in my life. I also enjoyed all farm stalls and food along the path.

Massachusetts was the state that went back into some real mountains. It was a relatively easy hiking with excellent views. From Western Virginia to Connecticut there are no large mountains and the path was becoming very monotonous. The most prominent aspects of the state were the Ponds of the Upper Goose, The Cookie Lady and Mt Graylock. Upper Goose pond booth was my favorite refuge on the path. It was like a shelter without electricity. The caregivers even cooked pancakes in the morning. MT Graylock was the first 3000 -foot mountain from Virginia. The views from the monument at the top were fantastic.

Georgia was very fun but nothing special. The land was easy, the views were good and I met many people. I met GQ on the second day of my walk and walked the rest of the path with him. Blood Mountain was my favorite place in the state. When I was there, all the trees were covered with frost and the sky was completely clear. One of my favorite shelters, around the curve, was located in the state.

New York was a wild adventure. The State began with a very challenging terrain. It was the first time that the path introduced the rock fight and stairs. The land was not much easier throughout the state. There were so many of them and most of them included rock fights. However, I really enjoyed the area around the Harriman State Park. Capboy camped at the top of Black Mountain with view of the New York horizon. Bear Mountain’s summit was also very great. Apart from the walk, the pizza and the delicatessen were fantastic.

New Jersey was like a mixture of Pennsylvania and New York. He had the rocky land of PA and the decent views of New York. I enjoyed the Towers of Fire throughout the state and the climbing to the stairs to heaven. I also liked the area around the National Wallkill Wildlife Refuge. I saw and heard some species of cold birds. Apart from that, the State was nothing special and more bad than good.

Connecticut was similar to New Jersey. Brief and nothing to write home. It rained about me during most of that state and were not points of view. Bear Mountain was my favorite place in the state. It is the highest point in CT and the summit has the only good opinions in the state.

West Virgina is a very short state. Basically it is just the walk through the Ferry Harpers. I really enjoyed walking around the city. It was great to see the entire history of the civil war. I stayed at Hippie’s Halfway Hideaway, which was a great shelter. I also took a photo in the ATC building.

Maryland was another very short state. I only had about forty miles on the path. It is easy to forget. It is flat and rocky without good views. The only good state of the State is shelters. They are very well maintained and have stained floors.

Pennsylvania was, with much, my least favorite state in the AT. It really is up to the name of Rocksylvania. The state had some OK views and some great pastures, but nothing very memorable. He had some unique cities and shelters such as Duncannon and 501 shelter. However, nothing can compensate for rocks. It was like walking through a mined field all day. I never knew when I would step on a loose rock and turn my ankle. Hiking was so tedious and monotonous.
