A thru-hiker is one who hikes the entire length of a long-distance trail in one season. The reasons for doing so are as numerous and as varied as the hikers themselves. Many times thru-hiking gets in the blood and becomes an obsession -- the hiker is always looking for the next long trail to hike. A thru-hiker needs specialized information to decide which trail to hike next and to plan a multi-week or multi-month backpacking trip. How long is the trail? When is the weather right for hiking? How does one get to and from the ends? What are the resupply options? The bare-bones information here will help the hiker decide if a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail could be the next great adventure.
