It is estimated that over 3,000 people attempt to hike the nearly 2,200-mile-long Appalachian Trail every year, but only about 750 are actually able to complete the path without giving up. Learn about the trail, the beautiful plants that shape it, the animals that call it home, and more in this fascinating book about a classic American landmark.
It was forester Benton MacKaye's idea to create the Appalachian Trail in 1921 to establish a beautiful hiking trail surrounded by nature that allowed city folks to reconnect with the environment around them. It was decided that the path would stretch thousands of miles across the eastern United States, from Maine to Georgia. The trail was completed in 1937, and it has been beloved by hikers from all over the world ever since.
