4/5-Day Backpacking Trip for 50+ Miles


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to plan a 4/5-day trip in April, which will include 50+ miles of backpacking. We will have no brand new Scouts but some 12-year-old (with year exp. in Scouting). I am looking for suggested areas and trails for the following states surrounding D.C. - MD, VA, WVA, DEL, PA, and NJ. If possible, please be specific in regards to trail names, places to camp, historic sites, etc. I don't want a lot steep climbs, but a few here and there would be fine. Most importantly, we want the trail to be scenic, practical to hike for 12-year-olds, and at least 50 miles. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

I hope someone can provide you an excellent recommendation. I don't have a specific trail recommendation for you but do suggest this if needed. You could contact the State Conservation department or State Parks Department of each state and ask for a listing of trails. Chances are good that these states already provide this information on line.
