Wrapping your head around the Appalachian Trail thru-hike alone is no easy task. 14 states, 2,190 miles, 5 million steps—and just as many questions.
Managing the logistics and finishing the months-long traverse are both impressive—and challenging—undertakings in their own right. Luckily, A.T. guru Michelle Michaud is here to help.
Not only has she completed the Appalachian Trail three times, including two thru-hikes, but she also has an extensive experience in helping others become successful AT thru-hikers. With her expert guidance, the dream of making it to Mt. Katahdin will feel closer than ever before.
