This submission is part of my personal project, the Atlantic States Seaboard Tour where I attempted an FKT route in each state, on back-to-back days. There are 14 contiguous states that follow the Atlantic Coast Shoreline: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
A full trip report will be posted on natureorbust.com within one week.
On 10/1 at 11: 44 am I ran the Newport Cliff Walk on a very touristy day. I zig zagged past walkers enjoying the trail and historical buildings. This was such a unique trail that I walked back to really enjoy the history.
