Hey, I love to hike the Appalachian trail. It's my favorite hiking trail in the Eastern United States. 
Me too. I go there every summer. Is it one of the most popular trails in the US?
Yes absolutely! It's tough though! Have you done all 2,200 miles of it before? Or just portions?
No just portions. Have you seen any bears or other wildlife there?
each year.
The idea of the Appalachian Trail came about in 1921. The trail itself was completed in 1937 after more than a decade of work, although improvements and changes continue. It is maintained by 31 trail clubs and multiple partnerships, and managed by the National Park Service, United States Forest Service, and the nonprofit Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Most of the trail is in forest or wild lands, although some portions traverse towns, roads and farms. It passes through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee
trails. The most popular hiking trail is long Hetta–Pallas Trail, which goes mainly high up in the fells and takes 3-4 days to complete. It is also possible to hike Pallas-Ylläs Trail (69km) and Ylläs-Levi Trail (50km). There are 14 marked nature trails, which are easy to go around and provide information on the area’s natural features and culture. The shortest trails are around 2km long being fairly suitable for day trips.
