The Appalachian Trail

The Appalachian Trail (the AT) is a hiking trail in the eastern United States. The majority of the trail is in forest or wild lands, although some portions run through towns, roads and farms. It is claimed  that the Appalachian Trail is the longest hiking-only trail in the world. Some people try to walk the entire 2,174 mile trail over several months. Others simply enjoy day-trips to parts of the AT. 



Throughout its length, the AT is marked by white paint blazes that follow each other at certain  distances and mark the direction of the trail.

Travel the Appalachian Trail in three-and-a-half minutes. This video was shot from February through September in 2013, a year that brought many unique challenges. From a late harsh winter to monsoon rains in the summer. It was a hard year to travel the length of the AT. As always, there was much beauty and friendship along the way. Enjoy this abbreviated journey along one of the Eastern United States' oldest trails.
