Come join the Thru-Crew! This online community Q&A meetup will unite both new and alumni hikers. New Hikers: Be prepared to discuss your future plans and any questions you may have. Alumni Hikers: Be ready to connect and give your best tips based on your experiences in the wild.

There isn't just one way to thru-hike, but there are good places to start. Sign up for a personal session with an experienced thru-hiker for any questions you have and/or a gear shakedown. Register with your dates of choice in the comment section. $50 for a 2 hour session. More details below:
