I'd Like to Travel

I've seen a lot of the world, especially Europe and the Middle East. I am embarrassed to say I haven't seen much of the USA, my own country. I really want to walk the Appalachian Trail, and will do it in bits and pieces over the next several years.

Besides the obvious things, like Grand Canyon, Rushmore, etc., does anyone have a bucket list of must-see places in the USA?

I want to walk the Appalachian Trail too. I would like to do it all at once.

@SweetMae I'd love to as well, and maybe I will, but I'm worried about the time commitment.

@ramblinman1962 It would take a long time.

@SweetMae Yes, 4-6 months Im told Maybe when the kids are out of the house I can do it in one go but not quite yet.

@SweetMae Have you walked any parts of the trail?

SweetMae · 70-79, F

@ramblinman1962 I did some time back with my family. I can't even remember which section now.

@SweetMae Ive done bits and pieces in NH, MA, MD, WVA and VA. Not more than a few hundred miles altogether though, out of however many thousand

@ramblinman1962 It is at least 2 thousand isn't it?

ramblinman1962 · 61-69, M

@SweetMae Yes more maybe. This past summer we drive along the blue ridge parkway, which skirts the trail and the views were fabulous.

@ramblinman1962 Yes that is a very beautiful area.
