DESCRIPTION
The Appalachian Trail is one of the world’s greatest walking trails.
Stretching 3200 km from Maine to Georgia, it traverses beautiful landscapes of forests, mountains and rivers and many historical and cultural aspects of American life. In September and October the autumn foliage will be at it’s brilliant best. Crisp, sunny days, perfect walking weather, highlight the splendour of the leaves – red, orange, yellow as far as the eye can see.
Our walking programme will encompass the Trail and associated tracks in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the coastal tracks of Acadia National Park in Maine. Our 4-6 hour day walks are graded moderate with just a few short strenuous sections on some of the trails in the White Mountains. We need only carry day packs, returning each evening to our cosy, elegant accommodation which reflect the typical hospitality and style of New England.
