10 Ways the Appalachian Trail Has Changed in the Last 10 Years
Times change, but the Appalachian Trail always stays the same … or does it? For hikers, the white blazes can feel like the one constant in an unpredictable world, a safe haven we can return to again and again when the chaos of life feels like too much.
“The trail will always be there,” we assure each other whenever one of us has to cancel a planned hike or get off trail earlier than expected. Whether it’s in one year or ten, we take for granted that the AT will be waiting for us, dynamic yet unchanging, whenever we’re ready to return to it.

I’ve logged thousands of trail miles as a backpacker, including thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, and Wind River High Route, and a long section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Hiking and writing are my two greatest loves, and I'm fortunate to have a career that combines both passions. It's an absolute privilege to use my writing to help others explore all that Mother Nature has to offer, both through vivid storytelling and actionable advice for aspiring hikers.
