Read the story

A Thru-hiker's Perspective

Each person who steps foot on the Appalachian Trail (AT) has their own unique story. Throughout these stories, a common thread exists that connects them in such a way to create one shared experience. In these pages, this common thread is expressed in the form of short poems and corresponding photographs that were taken at specific mile markers along the Trail.

For those who are familiar with the AT, certain images and words may conjure up memories of your own experience and allow you to relive them. Those who are less familiar will have a glimpse into what it is like to hike all 2189.8 miles of this national treasure through 14 states from Georgia to Maine.

"…very charming poems that so beautifully and whimsically capture the essence of the A.T. experience…"

— Laurie Potteiger, Appalachian Trail Conservancy
