Trail Updates

6/29/2026

The National Weather Service has issued heat advisories along the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) for Georgia through Maine starting tomorrow, June 30th, through Friday, July 3rd. Temperatures are expected to break records in some areas of the Northeast and high temperatures are expected for the whole Trail from Georgia to Maine. The hot temperatures combined with high humidity increase the likelihood of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.  

A.T. visitors should drink plenty of fluids, replenish electrolytes with fruit and salty snacks, and avoid hiking during the hottest part of the day. Hikers who are sensitive to heat should consider postponing their A.T. hikes. Learn more about staying safe in extreme heat on the A.T. 

A.T. visitors should also learn how to recognize signs of heat-related illness and what to do in the event of a heat-related emergency like heat stroke.
