    The actual milage is 326 miles on foot (mostly Cumberland Trail) and 238 miles on Powell, then Clinch then Tennessee rivers. Portaging over 4 dams. Started 8/31/20. 13 days on the hike and 6 days on the paddle. Amazing trip. Do yourself a big favor and go do it. Each year the CT will get closer to getting finished and thus each year this trip will get better.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
