My daughter and I were going to hike the AT through Maryland. She goes to school there and really wanted to do a muli-day hike. We recently gave up on the idea b/c the logistics of the end to end travel are both costly and time consuming. We decided to keep it simple this time and just find a loop or out and back that we can knock out in two long days, maybe three, however I'm having difficulty finding any lengthy trails of the sort.

  • How does the AT in Maryland not meet your requirements for an out and back trail? – James Jenkins Sep 19 '19 at 14:10
  • I suppose I could pick a random location to hop on, walk 15 miles and turn around. I was just fishing for recommendations. I wanted to see if there were any well known hikes I might have missed. – mreff555 Sep 19 '19 at 14:55
  • There are any number of variations you can make, to turn a long trail into a series of day (or two) trips. One of my examples is here – James Jenkins Sep 19 '19 at 14:59
  • Does it have to be MD or would trails in PA or VA work? – StrongBad Sep 19 '19 at 16:03
  • @StrongBad the OP's location is in their profile. That will probably answer your question. – James Jenkins Sep 19 '19 at 16:51
  • @JamesJenkins the question says MD specifically, but there are lots of trails that are less than 20 mi over the boarder that might work. They might be on a 50 state mission (or something like that) or maybe nearby things work. – StrongBad Sep 19 '19 at 17:28

    I was actually going to suggest the C&O from DC to Brunswick and then catch the commuter train back to the start. – StrongBad Sep 19 '19 at 18:06
