Hiking the Appalachian trail between Fontana Dam and Davenport Gap as we backpack the AT through The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 2012 CG and I took an extended backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. We began our hike near the southern end of the AT at Amicalola Falls in North Georgia, and we hiked for 2 months. Our backpacking trip ended just north of Roan Mountain, a few days shy of entering Virginia. We planned to hike 4 or 5 months, but considerations beyond the trail led us to cut the trip short. This is the footage we cobbled together during our hike. It’s not the highest quality footage, because we were uploading video to the internet as we hiked. Spending an extended period of time backpacking on the AT can be extremely rewarding, and even a transformative experience. It’s not glamorous, and sometimes it’s not easy, but it can be amazing. Since the early 1990’s, I’ve spent many seasons hiking on the trail, and it’s always the best decision I make.
CG and I are traveling long term, but packing light. We’ve been traveling now for more than a year, and we each carry a single Osprey Pack. You can find more info about our travel packs and the current prices for these Osprey packs at Amazon. amzn.to/35I3GNr
