The Appalachian Trail stretches 161 miles in the state of New Hampshire, how long it would take you to hike that far depends on a lot of factors. The trail in New Hampshire is fairly difficult so depending on your level of experience you could hike anywhere between 5 and 9 miles per day, so it could take anywhere from 17 to 33 days to hike all the way through.

Should tax dollars be used for hiking trails?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is really a moot point, but here we go anyway.

Hiking trails draw tourist dollars to the communities through which they run. Tourist dollars equal spending that directly affects taxes collected (sales taxes) that would not normally be available; it is excess to the local tax base. Using tax dollars on hiking trails creates jobs, increases revenue for local businesses, and generates taxes to replace what has been used to build and maintain the trails.

It is an investment with return, not a deficit.

Can dogs hike the Appalachian Trail with owner?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Someone answered: "Your dog probable can go with you as long as he has the right equipment for his feet, and food and water."

But there's much more to it than that. If you are talking about a dayhike, then the answer is yes, but the dog should be leashed to prevent problems with wildlife. You wouldn't want to have the dog go after a snake and be bitten, or after a porcupine and get quills in its nose.

If you're talking about backpacking a long distance, or thruhiking the Trail, then there are a LOT more considerations. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy has the answers you need on their website at: http://www.appalachiantrail.org/site/c.mqLTIYOwGlF/b.4805495/k.9C34/Hiking_with_Dogs.htm Please take a look at that.

Kings Peak is the highpoint of Utah. It is the seventh highest of the U.S. State Highpoints and located approximately 42 miles north of Duchesne in the High Uintas Wilderness Area of the Ashley and Wasatch National Forests. The mountain was named after Clarence King, who was the first director of the US Geological Survey. The standard hiking route is a 28.8 mile round trip trek, so the peak is usually climbed as part of a backpacking trip.
