Appalachian National Scenic Trail (11)
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a
2,167-mile footpath along the ridge
crests and across the major valleys of the
Appalachian Mountains from Mount Katahdin in Maine to
Springer Mountain in north Georgia. The trail
traverses Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia. It was completed in 1937 and
designated as the first National Scenic Trail in 1968. The Trail is
currently protected along more than 99 percent of its
course by federal or state ownership of the land or
by rights-of-way.
AT through-hikers are people who hike the entire
length of the trail in one season. Through-hikers generally start out in Georgia the early spring.
