After hiking across the state of Maryland on the Appalachian Trail via a series of section hikes in 2022, I started eyeing if there were any other states I could reasonably cross on foot again.
Since I live in Maryland, I started by researching other states around me and found that there is a trail that runs across the state of Delaware.
