Description
In late 2024 / 2025 I completed a through hike of the Appalachian Trail. I started SOBO from Katahdin in September and continued South through Maine in November until the weather stopped me. I restarted in February from Springer in GA and hiked North in a traditional manner, completing at Katahdin. With over half the trail complete as a section hike, this afforded me the quickest way to complete the trail after retirement while also attempting a thru hike.

My trail name is Alpha-Gal, some just call me Kriz (short form of my KrizAkoni YouTube channel name). Notably, I hike with an old school Kelty White Cloud pack. Currently, we're section hiking the AT and documenting our journey...

Smokies are definitely Hard but you pulled it off like a Boss. Hopefully that fall didn’t mess up that money maker face! Keep getting after it! 🏼

I must have missed that side trail to the tunnel. When I hiked in the smokies I didn't see a side trail near the south of newfound gap, or maybe I just missed it and hiked right past it. But great job on completing this section of trail. I think it's cool to see that you did 30+ mile days. The uphill coming up thunderhead mountain sobo KILLED ME.

Wow! I don't see how you could pull off back to back 30+ mile days, especially since you have not been out there every day. Awesome accomplishment! Another hiker and I are starting the Benton MacKaye SOBO Monday with 10 mile days to start

Looks like you had some incredible weather out there. Great job and hope the injury heals quick. Great job as the Smokies are no joke!

I loved seeing this in 3 days/sections, but it had to be hard, the 30+ miles parts. My husband and I have hiked from Clingman's Dome to Newfound Gap in 3 different segments and still have 1 or 2 more to do to finish it. I'm not sure when or if we'll be able to finish, but it was cool to see you cruise right through it!

I just found out they changed the Clingmans Dome name to Kuwohi. That looked bad, hope it heals and doesn't leave a scar.
