Rooster7 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 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.

imascouter Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 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.

packsaddle Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Rooster, some of my guys are interested in this also. I would like to hear about your trip to learn from your experience and plan one for our unit. I have done trips like this solo but not with the boys.
