I Want to Hike the Appalachian Trail

I am a 20 year old college student at the moment. It was always my father's dream to hike that trail and he is getting kind of old to do it now. I also like hiking and I would like to hike it for him. I think that once I get out of college I will take a summer off and thru hike the trail from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia

If you can, then read Bill Bryson's book, you will get some info that will help you. A walk in the woods, is the title.

One of the most enjoyable books I've ever read.
I'm a pretty hardcore backpacker and loved that he was able to laugh at himself and his lack of experience. That's a fun book even for people who've never hiked in their lives.
Good call.
(Movie kind of sucked though). :)
