All about the Appalachian Trail by Leonard M Adkins

The Appalachian Trail is one of the most iconic hiking trails in the world and a testament to the power of cooperation. Winding through fourteen states from Georgia to Maine, the Trail is cared for by thirty-one trail clubs, numerous partnerships, the National Park Service, and Appalachian Trail Conservancy. At 2,200 miles long, the trail attracts two million hikers per year. In this young reader's book, the author lays out the history of the Appalachian Trail in its many facets. He includes its geological, ecological, and human history, as well as its history as a trail. By weaving these all together, the author allows the reader to better understand the world's longest hiking trail.

Leonard M.Adkins, dubbed The Habitual Hiker by Backpacker magazine, has trekked more than 20,000 miles across the backcountry areas of the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and New Zealand. He's hiked the Appalachian Trail five times, as well as the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico, the Pacific Northwest Trail through Montana, Idaho, and Washington, and the Milford Track in New Zealand. Other long-distance trails include the Long Trail in Vermont, the Allegheny Trail in West Virginia, and the Ozark Highlands Trail in Arkansas.
