So you want to attempt a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, but don't know where to start? Let me help! From the time you decide "yes, I want to do this in my lifetime" to the final weeks before your start date, I created lists of what to do. A prepared start can be less physically and mentally hard, and set you up for success throughout the trail. There's so much to think of and remember, but here's a handy checklist to refer back to!

What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!
