Winter AT Hike Series - Section #3

This is the third event in the Appalachian Trail section hike series. In this series, we plan to cover a total of 130 miles of distance on AT in PA, MD, and VA, averaging 10-12 miles in distance and 1,000 to 2,000 ft. in elevation gain per section, finishing in 10 sections.

This series is cohosted by Benny and Dale, our fifth year running this series.

Because each section is a hike from Point A to Point B, not a loop hike, we will first meet at Point B, leave a few cars at Point B, and shuttle everyone to Point A. After we finish hiking from Point A to Point B, we shuttle the morning drivers back to Point A. Then we head home from Point A.
