The longest section is VA, comprising about 25% of the entire trail. The shortest section is WV, followed by MD and CT. The mistake that all of the early guessers got wrong was that the trail crosses the GA-NC border, missing SC.

I looked it up. It says you go through 14 states. So I obviously missed a few…….. :)

I know we have some hikers on here that have probably done it before.
