The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a 2,167-mile (3,488 km) footpath
along the ridge crests and across the major valleys of the Appalachian Mountains
from Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in north Georgia. The trail
traverses Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, North
Carolina and Georgia.
The 495,000-acre Pisgah National Forest covers the mountains of western North
Carolina and is named for the mountain from which Moses saw the promised land.
In the Pisgah you can hike through virgin forest, mountain-bike over endless
single-track, paddle world-class whitewater, flyfish, climbing, and there's even
skiing.
