When I was 14 my family and I thru-hiked the CT. Everyone on here knows how special and important that experience was and the fact that I was fortunate enough to do it a) so young and b) with my parents and sister was incredible. My sister and I both continued on to be CT guides on week-long sections of the trail when we were older, which was special to be able to share that experience with different folks as well.
