SmartHike, started in 2011, offers a time/cost efficient way to hike sections of the Appalachian Trail. Why carry a heavy backpack when you can day hike the trail?

The support van carries your food, clothing, camping equipment and water. All you carry is a day pack that should be under 10 pounds including water.

For more info, go to www.warrendoyle.com (Click on ‘Hiking’ and then click on ‘SmartHike’)

TO REGISTER: Fill out this form and mail in with a $50 deposit check (non-refundable).

Please make check payable to: Appalachian Folk School.

Mail to: Appalachian Folk School, PO Box 93, Mountain City, TN 37683

Balance of donation is due at end of your SmartHike session (cash or check).

Remember, these hikes are NOT for beginners. Participants should have prior day-hiking/backpacking experience. Participants should have outdoor camping skills such as: putting up a tent, or tarp, for shelter and cooking with a backpacking stove. Just remember, having a support vehicle carrying most of your weight doesn’t make it easier, but it makes it less difficult.
