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?
Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, generally known as the Appalachian Trail or simply the A.T., is a marked hiking trail in the Eastern United States extending between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine. The trail is about long, though the exact length changes over time as parts are modified or rerouted. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy describes the Appalachian Trail as the longest hiking-only trail in the world. More than 2 million people are said to take a hike on part of the trail at least once
