Interesting Tid Bits About the Appalachian Trail

The AT is the longest “hiking-only” footpath in the world.

​

It is roughly 2,200 miles of hiking trail through the Appalachian Mountain Range in the Eastern United States

​

The Trail travels through 14 different states

​

The elevation gain/loss of hiking the entire Appalachian Trail is the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest 16 times.

​

Less than 15,000 people have completed a successful thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Even more interesting (particularly when applied to this story), since 1958, less than 500 people, 60 and over, have thru-hiked the AT.

​

Each year, 2500 people attempt to thru-hike the AT, Only about 625 make it.
