An ATC kind of Christmas Tree: white blazes and 2016 AT thru-hiker hang tags with a dash of Leave No Trace thrown in. We are giving away the leftover 2016 AT hangtags at the Holiday Celebration in Harpers Ferry tomorrow to anyone who can open a bear canister. Come stop by! #appalachiantrail #at2016 #appalachiantrials #harpersferry #oldetymechristmas #christmastree #leavenotrace #atlnt #thruhike #bearcanister #whiteblaze

Making our way through the Mahoosuc Notch, the toughest, but also the most fun mile of the trail. #whiteblaze #at2016 #appalachiantrials #hiking #wanderlust #adventure #meetthemoment #hikingadventures #trailtime #hikerchat #tripofalifetime #hikingtrail #adventures #exploretheoutdoors #backpacking #livefolk

I am a 2,000 miler. Now just to finish up the rest of this darn trail. 12 out of 14 states completed and less than 100 miles left (due to the forest fires). I should be home in a week or two, in time for Christmas! . . . . #2000miler #2000 #miles #finishline #christmas #illbehomeforchristmas #appalachiantrail #flipflop #thruhike #thruhiker #at2016 #appalachiantrials #getoutside #hiking #backpacking #camping #rain #journey #optoutside #atthru #hike

Always take the path less travelled, unless they build a wooden pathway – then ya might as well take that one.

The snow was piled so deep I couldn’t tell what was trail and what was treetops on my way down from the summit. I started crashing through the snow covered treetops and took some time spread out crawling around on my chest checking my GPS to find my way back to solid ground. It was wild. #appalachiantrail #nobo #katahdin2016 #deathbedoreflipflop
