The Appalachian Trail and its many natural wonders. The trail is an excellent place for short adventures, such as day hikes or weekend camping trips. My most recent hike on the AT was up Pleasant Pond Mountain near the small town of Caratunk in western Maine. There’s a special feel to the AT. Maybe that’s just because I know how many people have walked the path with such purpose and determination. Every time I follow its white blazes, the specialness of the pathway is a concept that’s ever present in the back of my mind.
