Best Backpacking Podcast

141 The Ugly Side Effect

On this Episode we discuss the Associated Press about Hikers Behaving Badly on the Appalachian Trail. Are the concerns about the Appalachian Trail becoming a party atmosphere a reality or just perspective of a few loud voices? Is the Appalachian Trail becoming the Entitlement Trail and are hikers doing whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want – etiquette be damned?
