In October of 2021 I thru-hiked the 77 mile Foothills Trail in South and North Carolina. This video is part one of that hike. I had no idea how fantastic this trail was going to be. It was full of streams, waterfalls, lakes, climbs, and even had unobstructed views. Hiking the Foothills Trail would be a great way to start preparing for longer hikes, and might be the best trail for a first thru hike in the Southeast.
