My daughter and I were going to hike the AT through Maryland. She goes to school there and really wanted to do a muli-day hike. We recently gave up on the idea b/c the logistics of the end to end travel are both costly and time consuming. We decided to keep it simple this time and just find a loop or out and back that we can knock out in two long days, maybe three, however I'm having difficulty finding any lengthy trails of the sort.

How does the AT in Maryland not meet your requirements for an out and back trail? – James Jenkins Sep 19 '19 at 14:10

I suppose I could pick a random location to hop on, walk 15 miles and turn around. I was just fishing for recommendations. I wanted to see if there were any well known hikes I might have missed. – mreff555 Sep 19 '19 at 14:55

There are any number of variations you can make, to turn a long trail into a series of day (or two) trips. One of my examples is here – James Jenkins Sep 19 '19 at 14:59

Does it have to be MD or would trails in PA or VA work? – StrongBad Sep 19 '19 at 16:03

@StrongBad the OP's location is in their profile. That will probably answer your question. – James Jenkins Sep 19 '19 at 16:51
What about Chesapeake Ohio Canal Trail near of Washington DC?

1I was actually going to suggest the C&O from DC to Brunswick and then catch the commuter train back to the start. – StrongBad Sep 19 '19 at 18:06
