About the Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail - commonly known as the Appalachian Trail or simply AT - is one of the most famous long-distance hiking routes in the United States. Stretching approximately 2,200 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, it is one of 11 designated National Scenic Trails, recognized for their exceptional natural beauty. Established in 1921, the AT is also one of the oldest continuously marked trails in the country. The trail passes through 14 states and is renowned for its dense forests, rolling ridgelines, open meadows, and remote backcountry rather than high alpine peaks. Hikers experience a wide range of climates and frequent rain, especially in the southern and mid-Atlantic sections. Completing a thru-hike typically takes five to seven months and requires careful timing - most hikers start in early spring to avoid both summer heat and early winter conditions in the north. Along with the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, the Appalachian Trail forms the unofficial “Triple Crown of Hiking.” It also shares portions of its route with other historic trails, including roughly 100 miles of Vermont’s Long Trail and segments of the Pinhoti Trail. Known for its strong trail community, shelters, and traditions, the AT remains one of the most popular and culturally significant thru-hikes in the world.
