Because of its booming cultural voice, many visitors to the US overlook the rugged and diverse landscape that categorises the country’s great outdoors. Beyond the 24-hour cities and ritzy metropolises lie pine-topped ranges and lake-dotted valleys. Since 1937 the Appalachian Trail has given wanderers a way to explore the intimidating forests and mountains of the Eastern US and this tour gives you the chance to hike the most memorable and beloved parts of the trail. Get wild in New England, finding your feet along Franconia Ridge and testing your endurance with a hike to the summit of granite behemoth Mt Katahdin.
