Appalachian Trail 2022 Trip

Alajones4 and I have been section hiking the AT for six years now. This year, we hiked about 80 miles from Damascus, VA to an Alpaca farm near Atkins, VA. These are some pics from our trip this year.

Started in Damascus.


Ascent from Damascus


A lot of the streams were swollen. There were some moments of extra caution.


Our nightly setup


Old RR bridge


Ascent to Mt. Rogers (highest point in Virginia)


It started really coming down that night. It was very cold and windy and we weren’t prepared.



Next day was gorgeous sauntering through Roan Highlands








Li’l Sebastians

We were hiking through right at the tail end of thru hiker season. So most of the shelters were packed.
