« back to classes page
The Appalachian Trail (AT) might be America's most famous footpath and it travels right through Frederick County. We will explore portions of 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. This course is entirely held outdoors and involves a hike to an Appalachian Trail shelter. We'll start the day with a 30 minute lecture near the trail head.
