Appalachian Trail is 2,100 miles long from "summary" of A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
The Appalachian Trail is a ribbon of green that stretches through fourteen states along the East Coast of the United States. It winds its way through forests, across mountains, and beside rivers, covering a distance of 2,100 miles. That's a long way by anyone's measure. To put it in perspective, that's like walking from New York City to Los Angeles and back again, with a few detours along the way. The trail is a rugged and challenging journey that tests the endurance and determination of all who attempt it. Hikers must navigate steep climbs, rocky terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions. They must carry everything they need on their backs, from food and water to shelter and clothing. It's a test of physical strength and mental fortitude, a battle against the elements and the limitations of the human body. ...Similar Posts
