How does Inn-to-Inn hiking differ from backpacking?
With backpacking, you sleep on the cold, hard ground. With inn-to-inn hiking, you sleep in a warm, soft bed in a charming B&B. With backpacking you toil with a backpacking stove to heat up freeze-dried food. With inn-to-inn hiking your meals are prepared for you, starting with your delicious breakfast, gourmet sack lunch to hit the trail with, and dinner and glass of wine at the end of the day. With backpacking, your sixty pounds of luggage is carried on your back with each mile you hike. With inn-to-inn hiking, your luggage is passed on by the innkeeper to your next night’s lodging.
