Unofficial HikaNation Campsites List

| Hiking along the Appalachian Trail was "at your own pace", so HikaNation groups were spread out along the A.T., with various campsites every night. The ones listed at the top of the page are William Ewart's campsites. Photos will try to match the dates of occurence so the photos will not always be William's whereabouts. |

The Tidewater ATC provided chili (and more) for 3 days to accomodate the spaced out arrival of HikaNation.
The club's primary purpose is to maintain a 11 mile section of the Appalachian Trail located southwest of Charlottesville, VA. The TATC section, most of which is in the Three Ridges Wilderness Area, winds south from Reid's Gap on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Tye River on Route 56. The trail meanders through mainly hardwood forest, climbs the 3,970-foot Three Ridges Mountain, and reaches overlooks with outstanding views of the Tye River Valley and The Priest (Mountain). It descends quickly, and ends at a suspension bridge over the crystal-clear Tye River. Typical plant and animal life spotted include flame azalea, mountain laurel, rhododendron, bear, deer, grouse, and turkey.
