How to hike the Appalachian Trail in less than 5 minutes
Like millions of others, I’ve always thought it would be cool to hike the Appalachian Trail — all 2,175 miles of it, from Georgia to Maine.
I’ve walked on it — or at least set foot on it — in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. I’ve listened to the audiobook version of Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods.”
And I’ve read article upon article in magazines, most recently a fun piece by a Chinese visitor in Outside Magazine .
But hiked it I’ve not. Until today. When I finished it in five minutes. Without leaving my desk.
Hiker Kevin Gallagher recorded his six-month through-hike, then pieced together stop-motion photos for an end-to-end video experience . Take a look and see if it’s anything like you’ve dreamed it to be.
Anyone have any AT tales to share? Might be just what we need to get limbered up after a long winter.
