Short Thru-Hikes: How to Backpack and Keep your Desk Job
My good buddy Whitney “Allgood” LaRuffa thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail almost 20 years ago and worked as a ridgerunner with his dog for two years. Now, he has a job, a house, a dog, and a volunteer job as the President of the American Long Distance Hiking Association-West. Yet, Allgood still manages to thru-hike a long backpacking trail every year.
His secret? Short thru-hikes that offer 2,000 miles worth of challenge and adventure in a two-week vacation slot.
Looking for some shorter thrus that won’t require giving notice to your boss?
