Silicon Recon represents the intersection of technology and tactical outdoor skills. This 30-day expedition along the Appalachian Trail is designed as a high-intensity, mission-focused trek that applies military precision to long-distance hiking.
Starting from the Oconaluftee area in North Carolina (approx. 35.5620, -83.4236) and concluding at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (approx. 39.3250, -77.7380), this operation covers approximately 750 miles of challenging terrain at a tactical pace of 25 miles per day.
The name "Silicon Recon" reflects our approach: applying technological precision and military-style planning to reconnaissance of one of America's most iconic wilderness corridors.
