Description:

The Appalachian Trail was always intended to be a place for hikers to spend a few hours, a day, a few days, a week, a few weeks, or more out in the forest, away from the stresses and sounds of the city. This collection contains a wide variety of items related to the hiker experience on the Appalachian Trail--everything from images of hikers, to samples of what hikers write in shelter journals, to information about specific individuals who have hiked on the Trail.
