About the event
The Appalachian Trail (A.T.) is a world‑famous hiking trail stretching from Georgia to Maine across 14 states. This hike covers the Pennsylvania section from Peters Mountain to Clarks Valley. The trail is well‑maintained but rocky, so proper hiking shoes are strongly recommended. Enjoy scenic views at Table Rock View and pass by Peter's Mountain Shelter along the way.
