First Views Of The Appalachian Trail...

Beginning on the trail from Blue Ridge Conservation Center in Harper's Ferry as it heads up to the Appalachian Trail. A local dog went went us for the first half of the 10.5 miles run/hike.

Janie looking fresh early into the run...

Heading down from the Appalachian Trail running through Butterfly Alley.

Could be Sadie's cousin!
The Appalachian trail near Harper's Ferry was extremely rocky. It was very difficult to get into a running rhythm. It was very similar to Cougar Crest near Big Bear or coming down from Mt. Baldy, except not as steep. A wonderful trail. We can't wait to see more of it.

Great photos! I got a hiking taste of the AT about 8 years ago. Would like to run it a bit now. :)

I love your blog, Dad. Maybe we can go for a hike when Megan and I get up there!
