Hey, I love to hike the Appalachian trail. It's my favorite hiking trail in the Eastern United States. 
Me too. I go there every summer. Is it one of the most popular trails in the US?
Yes absolutely! It's tough though! Have you done all 2,200 miles of it before? Or just portions?
No just portions. Have you seen any bears or other wildlife there?
Yeah, I see a few animals. Just small animals though, no bears yet thankfully! And lots people, more than 2 million people hike a portion of the trail each year!
