Stories From The Great Northeast
The western states dominate the hiking and backpacking scene with wild scenery and massive mountains, when thinking of backpacking trips, the east is too often overlooked. There is something to be said about the ancient forest-covered Appalachians, the young Adirondacks, the eastern seaboard, and White Mountains. Some of the best hiking in the country rests near the highest populated areas, and they are well worth seeing, even for those westerners.
