My husband (61) and I (56) really enjoyed this video:) It is on our bucket list. We have done a small section from the bear gap campsite to the campsite at the suspension bridge (it was part of loop we did from a Gorges State Park trailhead. It rained the whole foothills section of this hike. lol. Still had a great time. I love the positivity in your group. We love to hike and backpack. We may not be as fast as we once were, but we get it done. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. It has definitely re-energized our goal of doing this thru hike.

I hiked this trail solo a couple of years ago, and I also did it in five nights, but I carried all my food to the whole way, with no resupplies. The trail was way harder than I thought it would be. For some reason, I thought that since it was called the Foothills Trail, I’d be hiking at the FOOT of the hills, but NOOOOOO!!! 😂 Taz was my driver too, and he was so nice. When he picked me up at the end I think he was surprised that I finished it at all, much less in 5 1/2 days. I said, “Taz, those were definitely not hills!” And he said, “Nope, I never said they were hills. They are definitely mountains.“ 😆 It took my feet several months to recover after carrying a 30-pound pack up and down those mountains for 5 1/2 days (I wasn’t very hungry the entire time, so I carried way too much food), but I would definitely do it again. Congrats on completing the trail. It brought back great memories, and all of you were so entertaining! 😁 HIKE ON! 👣

In any given group of four dudes, there's always one ham. Occasionally, there are two hams. Rarely are there three. But here you defy the odds with four out of four! Enjoyed your video, I through hiked the same route just last weekend with a buddy (not a ham). Could've used more ham. We enjoyed some of the same sites; Hilliard Falls, Rock Creek and Chimneytop. If it weren't for 10 hours and 3" of rain on 4/24, our through hike could not have been better. The FH Trail maintenance is second to none and the campsites were all clean and beautiful. Of course, Taz is a fixture!

Thanks Paul! The trail is well marked. You should not have any problems navigating. Water was plentiful when we hiked in April. It's been a long and dry summer, so I am not sure of the current water conditions. You might try the Foothills Tail Conservancy for more information. Good luck on your hike!!

My friend Barry "Big Bear" finished on 4/11. It took us 7 days and we ran into bad weather on the PM of the 6th day. Could'nt see a thing from the top of Sassafras. It began to rain hard and we decided to set up camp at John Cantrell Homesite Campsite. We set up in the rain. Luckily we got into the tents before the heavy rain came. But we were warm and dry. Ended on day 7. it was beautiful and got great views from Bald Knob. Great video and congrats on finishing the hike. Check out my vlog. I did a day by day.

The best training is to get out on the trail. Start with day hikes and gradually increase your milage. If you have a gym membership try getting on the stair master. Start out with just a few minutes and gradually increase your time. Good Luck!
