The Spirit Of The Appalachian Trail

The Appalachian Trail (AT) passes through fourteen states from Georgia to Maine. Each year 2-3 million people visit the trail, and almost two thousand attempt to walk the entire distance. For many, the journey transcends a mere walk in the woods and becomes a modern-day pilgrimage. In The Spirit of the Appalachian Trail, Susan Power Bratton addresses the spiritual dimensions of hiking the AT.
