Enjoy the amphibious life? On canoeing and hiking the week is split between land and water. We'll spend three days backpacking on the Appalachian Trail in West Virginia and Maryland. Then we'll switch gears and set out on the Potomac River in white water canoes. For these three days, we'll enjoy the sun and relax on river. You'll learn the basics of canoeing, including paddle strokes and water features, working up to running some sweet rapids on the final day.
