Where in the world is the Appalachian Trail?
Located on East coast USA, the A.T. is a rugged 2,174 mile wilderness footpath traversing through the valleys and over the ridge tops of the Appalachian Mountain Chain. The start of the A.T. is atop Springer Mountain located in North Georgia. Fourteen states, and an estimated 5 million steps later, the trail concludes in Maine on Mount Katahdin. Stacking an impressive 5,267 feet of elevation, Mount Katahdin is the trophy peak symbolizing successful completion of walking the entire footpath end-to-end. The entire A.T. is marked with a 2″ x 6″ white blaze.
