Appalachian Trail
Where would the Appalachian Trail Golden Packet event be without the Appalachian Trail?
Honestly - it might not have ever gotten off the ground.
The AT had a lot of special meaning to Bob and his family. We do everything we can to keep Bob's dream alive year after year.
Shameless Disclaimer
And, while we don't make much of a ruckus about it, we sincerely hope our efforts underscore our appreciation of the wonders the Appalachian Trail brings with it.
If we can encourage you in any way, please take a day - bring yourself - bring your family - bring a loved one... Pick one of your most favorite spots anywhere along the 2200+ mile length of the AT and just go visit it!
The history, the engineering work, the energy of it all...it just can't be put into words! You have to experience it for yourself!
Appalachian Trail Conservancy
The AT Conservancy can always benefit from donations. Not only was the AT build by volunteers, its ongoing maintenance is also done by volunteers.
Let's be realistic - even volunteer efforts cost money. A few dollars can go a long way! Please donate anything you can spare. It's one of the most beautiful one-of-a-kind resources throughout all of North America and we would like to see it continue for as long as possible!
