This week we scout a trail system in Virginia that we hope will make for a good weekend backpack trip for beginning backpackers. Along the way, we explain what makes a great trip for a first timer.
In the episode we make mention of "Backpacking Virginia: The Definitive Guide to 40 Can't-Miss Trips from Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean," by Johnny Malloy. Learn more about the book here.
If you're looking for recommended first-time backpack trips, check out these 5 from "Backpacking North Carolina: The Definitive Guide to 43 Can't-Miss Trips from Mountains to Sea."
