Share Your Lessons from the Appalachian Trail

During back to school season, we’re celebrating the ways that the Appalachian Trail can be a great teacher.

If you visited the A.T. for a day, a weekend, or on a monthslong hike, we want to hear what lessons you learned from your time on the Trail. Whether those lessons are harrowing near misses that can help others avoid danger or more lighthearted lessons about slowing down and appreciating the beauty of the Trail around you, we hope you’ll consider sharing what you’ve learned from the Trail with us and the A.T. community.

We’ll collect lessons from the Trail throughout the month of September and share our favorites in a future blog post. Share your lessons from the Trail in the form below!
