The Appalachian Trail is not a hike you want to plan to completely finish. It is over 2,000 miles of trail through the magnificent Appalachian Mountains. Mostly going through Virginia it is broken up into smaller hiking segments. One of the nice things about hiking the Appalachian Trail is the “blazes”. Blazes are marks along the trails that point you in the right directions. Camping sites are scattered along the trail for overnight stays. And many parts of the trail are near cities and towns.
