May 17-22, 2024. After unexpectedly getting off the Appalachian Trail I made it over to MST and hiked all of segment 4 and 40 miles of segment 5. It was an amazing journey up and over mountains, along a gorge, past countless waterfalls, across more than 20 streams, through protected areas and zigzagging besides and on a parkway. Beauty and pure nature were everywhere.
