The Appalachian Trail (AT) might be America's most famous footpath, and it travels right through Frederick County. We will explore the history of the AT and the hiking phenomenon it is today. The trail has a fun and quirky culture surrounding it and we will dive into some unique, fun facts. The first session is in the classroom, and the second session is a hike to see some iconic sights on this famous footpath. The meeting place for the hike will be Washington Monument State Park. The hike will be on a trail that is mobility friendly. Although not ADA compliant, the trail is a smooth, wide gravel path without steps and would be suitable for a person using a walking aid. Students are to provide their own transportation to the meet up location. Rain Date for the hike - 11/2
