Reviewed February 1, 2017. The trail runs from Pittsburgh Pa. to Cumberland Md. to the terminus of the C&O Canal. The first couple of miles of the trail from Cumberland through the Historic Narrows is paved. This makes for a great walking trail or for riding bikes.
As the trail follows the eastern ridge of the Appalachian Mountains it passes through 14 states, and although the slogan is Maine to Georgia, most people hike the trail the other way, Georgia to Maine. Georgia's mild climate plays a role in this, since hikers like to start the 6 month trek in April. Another reason: the toughest part of the trail, in New Hampshire and Maine is saved for last, when hikers are in condition to handle it.
