The Appalachian Trail runs 2,190 miles. It is home to avid hikers, volunteers, trail maintainers, and many more. The trail is a scenic route, there is no rush on completing sections, no rush into pushing 20 miles a day. The trail is about the connection between yourself and nature, enjoying what the white blazes have to offer by taking in the moment, and building relationships with people who share the same passion for nature.

Thank you Professor Kelly for introducing me to The Appalachian Trail. I cannot wait to discover, explore, and earn my trail name.
