Trail Journals From a Short Section Hike - July 4, 2014

On July 4th 2014 I began hiking in Amicalola Falls State Park along the AT. I spent 8 nights on the trail and ended up covering about 80 miles. I wanted to experiment with a video journal instead of a written journal so I made a bunch of videos. I am very new to this, and my videos are probably very boring, so I apologize in advance.

On day 1 I ended up hiking 9 miles from the archway in Amicalola Falls State Park to the Springer Mountain Shelter.

So without further ado, here is my video from day 1 on the trail:

And some pictures I took that day (sorry, my camera sucks... the colors and exposure is all off):
