The Appalachian Trail is one of the many places I want to see before 30. It extends from the state of Georgia all the way to Maine
Me too! Doesn't it go through Tennessee as well?
Yep, I think it cuts through a lot of the southeastern states. I love Tennessee, I used to have family there
I used to live in TN myself! It sounds like such a long trail. Do you know how many miles the Appalachian Trail covers?
It's around 2200 miles long, even doing 50 miles walking a day (a full day of walking) it would easily take one person months. There are towns especially intended as pit stops for trail walkers.
Interesting! Is it longer or shorter than the Pacific Crest Trail?
The PCT is actually 2650+ miles long, so it definitely takes the cake. I imagine due to it's climate zones it's much more difficult to traverse.
Probably so. Do you know anything about the history of the Appalachian Trail?
