The mountains are a beautiful adventure. As you walk up the incline, trees overhang, animals run wild, and rivers roar. All of these are things that keep me coming back to hike. On my most recent hike, while it may have been 100 degrees back home, where I was it was a chilling 40 degrees. As we walked around ten miles up and over the mountain, I took many breaks to catch my breath and take in the majestic scenery. There are also the snow skiing vacations. While you can’t see anything besides snow and trees, the adventure of cruising down the slopes is full of adrenalin. The mountains have always signified an adventure for me. Just like the mountains, life is a beautiful adventure. I do not know yet what adventures are in store for my life, but I look forward to them. I strive to see the beauty in everything.

The Appalachian Trail travels 148.7 miles through Vermont in two Main sections. The first section is between Sherburne Pass (U.S. 4) and the Vermont/Massachusetts border. This section runs through the Green Mountain National Forest and coincides with the lower Long Trail. This section is 104.1 miles long ending at Maine Junction, the split of the Long and Appalachian Trails. The section is moderately difficult, with elevation ranging from 850 feet to 4,010 feet on the ssw slope of Killington. The terrain in this section includes dense evergreen forests, picturesque mountain lakes, boggy areas. Road crossings are few, but the Trail here is heavily traveled. Occasional but expansive views are encountered, most from observation or fire towers. Hikers are urged to stay off the A.T. in this area during the "mud season" of April and May. Trails are not only unpleasant to hike but are also vulnerable to erosion and vegetation damage. The best time to hike

Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air, on other parts of the trail it [the weather conditions] would be smothering heat, but meanwhile a few states north the rain would fall endlessly with gusts of cold wind, and snow would blanket the pathways of the trail and more than likely blizzards

The Appalachian Trail is a massive walking trail that is said to be roughly 2,150 mile long from end to end (pg. 7). This trail is one of few enormous walking trails in the United States. It runs from Georgia all the way to Maine. People set off to walk this trail every spring. They may walk it straight through or in sections. Many obstacles are involved throughout the trail such as: animals, the weather, diseases, and even plants can be a danger as Bryson states multiple times throughout his book. People walk these trails to get a sense of nature that one would not normally feel on a regular daily basis elsewhere. The problem with this is that it creates a division between us and nature. We now have to go out and find nature rather than living

The Appalachian Trail is America's first Scenic Trail. It stretches from Katahdin Mountain in Maine to Springer Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia. This stretch of the trail includes some of the most difficult sections. Some trails are suitable for day hikes or short backpacking hikes.

The scenes journey along the Appalachian Trail captures the true magnificence and greatness of the eastern U.S. of wilderness. Starting in the Deep South at the foothills of the smoky mountains, this journey overwhelms one with southern beauty while also making one experience the South’s legendary simplicity and retreat from the urban gridlock of modern society. The Appalachian Trail’s scenery attracts many people from all over the world to witness it for them. Causing many people to come with their families and possibly volunteer.

Suddenly, leaves rustled in the distance and a small doe appeared with piercing brown eyes and a jet-black nose eating luscious wild blackberries from a bush. After walking a short distance, faint sounds of rushing water filled the atmosphere and the scenery unexpectedly changed. Giant old hemlock trees towered over the trickling picturesque creek that parallels the trail, whispering in the breeze. A natural freshness emerged in the mountain air approaching Abrams Falls as misty sprays of chilly sprinkles bounced off my body. The cascading water roared and rumbled over the broad ledge, appearing frosty white and foamy before plummeting into the deep, crystal-clear pool below. Like most visitors, I dipped my hands into the water pool and enjoyed a cool refreshing drink. The sun beamed overhead in the blue sky and a nippy breeze caressed my body as I sat on an enormous, gray boulder admiring the magnificent natural wonder of the Abram Falls. Trekking on Abrams Falls Trail and observing the powerful, breathtaking waterfall was a memorable excursion that I hope to share with

I never knew the Smokies were so close to my grandparent’s retirement village. Every summer all the cousins jammed into Grandpa’s Ford for our jaunt up the mountains. But back then the hills had no name. They were recognized only by the pop of our ears and the pink silk trees bowing down to the highway. Since those days I have grown partial to any patch of grass with “National Park” tacked to its title. Today the mimosas still tossed their petals to traffic, and the truck remembered its ever-present perfume of damp golden retriever. But today we were going to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. “Cade’s Cove, next left,” the road sign read, and two bikes bumped along on the car hitch.

Many different ages of people hike the Appalachian Trail. There are 3 million visitors per year who enjoy hiking the Appalachian trail. “The trail conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is the longest hiking-only trail in the world.” Nancy Gowler hiked the Appalachian Trail at the age 71 in 2007. In 2014 Christian Thomas hiked the appalachian trail at five years old. Thru hikers average in their 20s, section hikers average in their 40s. Some families hike the trail together, at the beginning the parents carry most of the gear, by the end most kids carry their own gear. If the family finishes the trail together it makes them stronger.

Ever heard of the Appalachian trail, it’s 2,000 miles of wildness stretched of all you see.

The purpose of this grant is to connect the southern, Hanging Rock trail, to the north, Superior trail, a six mile radius. The Hanging Rock trail is south of State Route 650 and the Superior trail north of the Country Road 27. Along with acting as a trail connector it will prevent soil erosion, control water runoff, and help prevent further resource damage by avoiding the destruction of remote territories. The Pine Grove ATV Connectors will enhance the ATV trails for a more desirable ride experience, much like those in the neighboring states. With the increase in desirable ride experience, this would lead to economic advantages by bringing a large amount of tourists in the region. With the growth of urban development, city dwellers want to

no one but those who are young, athletic and fit for the trails go there? No,

The camp is located in Morton, Mississippi, surrounded by a vast, yet calm lake and countless trees. At the camp we stay in large cabins filled with twin bunk-beds and a peaceful atmosphere. This year, I discovered a trail that goes around the whole camp and it was quite fun hiking through it with my friends. Although, before we get to the camp there is a pre-determined schedule to which we must abide. We

Tie your hair back and take a 3.5 mile (5.6 km) walk along Newport’s Cliff Walk to see New England’s rocky coastline and some famous mansions. The Cliff Walk is relatively flat and isn’t too difficult to follow, so it is appropriate for all skill levels—just remember that the walk isn’t a loop, so you’ll have to head back to the start to collect your car.
