A Quick and Dirty Guide to the Appalachian Trail


"Planning for an extended trek on the Appalachian Trail can be easy. There are probably hundreds of books,websites, articles and guides on how to backpack on this trail. 
For the same reason, planning a hike on the Appalachian Trail can be intimidating. Esp if a person is new to backpacking and/or long distance hiking, the sheer amount of resources can be overwhelming. Where do you start??!?!?!" 

I suggest you head over to PMags.com and check out A Quick and Dirty Guide to the Appalachian Trail.
Mags has put together an excellent resource for those looking to plan a trip on the Appalachian Trail.  If your new to the world of long distance hiking, or a seasoned pro, you'll find your self referring to his post often. It's that good!
