I continue to look at and review all of the pictures from Instagram under the hashtag #AppalachianTrail and selecting a few of the best each week. Lots of progress being made this week and a great sunrise.

If you would like your picture to be included, be sure to use the hash tag #AppalachianTrail (and tag me and Appalachian Trials for extra bonus points).

Here is this week’s best pictures from the #AppalachianTrail (winner of the week is at the bottom):

@fly522 Staying warm in her awesome sleeping bag from @nemoequipment

It was so cold last night that I was in my sleeping bag and in my tent by 6:30. That's how life is out here sometimes. #appalachiantrail #nemoequipment #lovethisbag #thisbagisthebomb #thruhikesyndicate #thruhike2014 @nemoequipment A photo posted by Whitney a.k.a Tip Toe (@flying_tiptoe) on Apr 9, 2014 at 5:25pm PDT
