The Appalachian National Scenic Trail has been called the “Footpath for the People” and is the most famous hiking trail in the world. The AT is 2,190 miles long and traverses scenic woodland from Georgia to Maine. From Springer Mountain (Georgia) to Mt Katahdin in Baxter State Park (Maine), participants in this class will learn the history of the AT, as well as ways to experience Day Hikes, Weekend Hikes, Section Hikes and even Thru Hikes. More than 3 Million people hike segments of this trail each year. The Appalachian Trail’s footpath is along ridge-crests and across major valleys of the Appalachian Mountains. Hikers get to experience some of the most beautiful views in the world.

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” John Muir
