Trip South: Max Patch


Jenny has always thought she would like to hike the Appalachian Trail, yes all 22oo plus miles. Last year she read an article about a local man who took three months to hike it with details of problems faced during the trip; he said he wore out two pairs of shoes.


The Max Patch is a very popular section of the Appalachian Trail where day hikers can go and and get a taste, however, a very little taste! While at the Max Patch, Jenny met a lady who was hiking part of the trail; she was carrying a forty-five pound back pack that Jenny could barely pick-up. Jenny no longer talks about hiking the Appalachian as one of her, “Bucket List”.


The Max Patch, located in the Hot Springs township of NC, about one hour northwest of Asheville, NC
