Thru Hiking The Appalachian Trail from Amicalola Falls State Park to Mt. Katahdin on Video

I really enjoyed watching Craig's Appalachian Trail Hiking Videos on youtube. You can watch from Day 1 all the way thru his A.T. Hike to Mt. Katahdin. Sit back and enjoy the Appalachian Trail from the comfort of your home while Craig shares his journey each step of the way from Amicalola Falls all the way to Mount Katahdin.

There are 91 Videos to watch in the playlist. They are really worth watching if you ever dreamed of hiking the A. T. You will be able to see and hear many of the sites and sounds of the Appalachian Trail in these videos. Enjoy!

If you don't have the time or inclination to watch all 91 videos of the A.T., below is a 5 minute video he shared of his journey thru hiking the Appalachian Trail.
