Tim's Appalachian Trail Page
"The Appalachian Trail stretches more than 2,100 miles through 14 states from Maine's mighty   Katahdin to Georgia's forested Springer Mountain. Along its route, the A.T. crosses eight national forests, six units of the national park system, about 60 state park or game lands, and scores of small mountain and valley communities. Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population lives within a day's drive of this continuously marked footpath." (from ATC page)

I've hiked several big chunks of this grand footpath, including all of Vermont, most of New Hampshire, and a good part of Maine. Someday I hope to do the whole thing in one long summer. Many of the long-distance thru-hikers call it the Green Tunnel, and it must be quite beautiful! I've met dozens of long-distance hikers, and I always try to turn them on to cold brews, homemade snacks, and other goodies!  You can often time where and when the groups are coming through, and if ya can get up to Baxter State Park in the fall, you are sure to meet some very cool folks near the end of a long and special journey.
