I had a wonderful time this weekend. The guide did a great job leading, and teaching us the skills we need to be successful backpackers. – Terra D.
I'm glad I went on this trip. I learned that the AT is a friendly place and that I can climb a mountain and gained confidence to return some other time and do it on my own. It was great meeting such a nice group of people, and I made some new friends to hike with back home. – Cheryl T.
