Appalachian National Scenic Trail

And a HUGE bonus of the day was to connect with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail!!! The AT travels through 14 states (CT, GA, AM, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, VT and WV) so it will be fun to see where my journey will intersect with this magnificent wonder again.

“The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, generally known as the Appalachian Trail or simply the A.T., is a marked hiking trail in the Eastern United States extending between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine. The trail passes through 14 states and is about 2,200 miles (3,500 km) long, though the exact length changes over time as parts are rerouted or modified. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy describes the Appalachian Trail as the longest hiking-only trail in the world. More than two million people are said to take a hike on part of the trail at least once each year.”
