Grab your pack, lace up your boots, and get ready for an unforgettable journey deep into the heart of the Appalachian Mountains! Over four incredible days, weโ€™ll hike 30 rugged, awe-inspiring milesโ€”with nothing but our gear, our grit, and a trail that will leave you breathless in every sense of the word.
Weโ€™ll begin 30 miles north of Front Royal, VA, and make our way south through one of the most beautiful sections of the Appalachian Trail.
Cross wooden footbridges over bubbling mountain streams
Climb rocky ascents that open into sweeping ridge views
Stroll through peaceful grassy meadows dotted with wildflowers
Catch golden hour on mountain vistas that will etch themselves into your memory forever

To join the adventure, youโ€™ll need to complete at least one practice hike with the groupโ€”we want everyone to get familiar, get comfortable, and start building the trail bond early.
New to backpacking? No worries! Weโ€™ll hook you up with a full packing list, essential tips, and Amazon gear suggestions to make sure youโ€™re ready to roll.
This isnโ€™t just a hike. Itโ€™s an experience. A challenge. A memory in the making.
Sign up nowโ€”and come see what happens when you trade your daily grind for the trailโ€™s wild freedom and dirt-forged friendships.
