"I may live out west right now, but when I was growing up, the only big hiking trail I knew was the Appalachian Trail. Yet I moved out west before I started seriously hiking, and in all the times I've been back to visit family, I hadn't set foot on the AT. So with Ken, my intrepid hiking and adventure partner in tow, we hiked an 8.5-ish mile section of the AT from near Hagerstown, MD (at the I-70/US-40 crossing)/near the Pine Knob shelter, northbound to the Wolfsville Road parking area. Other than the nasty rocky section about 6.5 miles in that lasted for a mile, the hike was really easy and gorgeous. Fairly busy until we passed Annapolis Rocks, then it petered out after Black Rock cliffs and we only saw one other person. A gorgeous day, if a bit too warm and humid for my dry desert tastes.

"Summited during a 3 day MD section hike of the AT over Memorial day weekend. The most crowded I have ever seen any section of AT but all good fellow hikers enjoying the trail. Excellent shelters throughout MD and fairly easy hiking with the exception of the rocks in the northern miles." — SteveG • May 26, 2019
"Planned this as my birthday hike. It was also the day after Election Day. I climbed this mountain blissfully unaware of who won the election because no matter who won, it was going to be bad news. It was foggy when I got to the top, so I hiked on for a while. Got back to the overlook, and the fog was starting to roll out, and the view was amazing. Had it all to myself for probably half an hour and when it started to rain, I hiked back down. It was a great day until I found out who our new president was!" — jennifermurphy • Nov 9, 2016
