Thinking about thru-hiking the Foothills Trail? This small but mighty 77-mile trail - which spans from South Carolina to North Carolina (or visa versa) - makes for a beautiful trek. The trail is also a worthy shakedown hike to prepare for the Appalachian Trail! In this episode, experienced thru-hiker Catmando gives a run-down on all aspects of the trail, including:

  1. Total elevation gain & loss
  2. Water carry & campsite insight
  3. Logistic tips to ensure easy entrance & exit from the trail
  4. The best time of year to hike it, and more!
