Best backpacking trails
Dear Pedro, Where do you think the best backpacking trails are aside from Philmont? I can’t wait to go to New Mexico, but I need some suggestions for my troop to practice before we go.

Of course, I’ve had enough backpacking to last me a lifetime (eating and sleeping are a lot more fun). But since you’re in West Virginia, Marshall, why don’t you check out the Appalachian Trail?
There are alot of trails located in the Allegheny National Forest which is located in Pennsylvania and another National Forest located in West Virginia.
The Cumberland Trail System in Tennesse offers alot of miles of hiking in the Appalachian Mountains similar to the Appalachian Trail.
