Day 106 - Shenandoah! (15/10/2016)

Today marks my first day in Shenandoah National Park. This is one of the sections that most AT hikers call their favourite, so I've been pretty excited about it. It did not disappoint...

We're finally back to some spectacular views and the walking track is every bit as beautiful as we were promised: for the first time, a section is just as good as NOBOs have said it was.‎

Camping was a bit rough. The winds were so high I had trouble getting my stove lit, then it died before cooking my food. Partly cooked macaroni, and semi-dehydrated chili were not the quality to which I have become accustomed.

Start: Mosby Campsite

End: Top of Hogshead Peak

Distance: 19.4 miles
