Welcome to Day 1 of my Appalachian Trail (AT) shake-out hike! Join me as I take on the cold and begin my journey toward Springer Mountain. This adventure starts off with an unexpected twist—an added 6 miles on the approach trail to reach the iconic southern terminus of the AT. Despite the bitter weather, the excitement of the trail keeps me moving forward. Along the way, I’ll share insights on my first impressions of the trail. My day ends at Stover Creek Shelter, a perfect spot to rest and reflect. Whether you’re planning your own Appalachian Trail hike, curious about thru-hiking, or love outdoor adventures, this video is for you.
