Meet the Class of 2014: 215 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker Summit Photos

For the last six months, as part of a weekly series, Appalachian Trials has been proudly showing off the summit photos of this year’s Appalachian Trail thru-hikers.  We figured it was about time to celebrate the entire class of 2014 in one grand post!

We dare you to look through these photos and NOT feel an overwhelming vicarious sense of pride and glory.  Triple dog dare you.

Congratulations to each and everyone of the 2014 thru-hikers!  You are all badasses.

Did we miss your summit photo?  Send it here.  And if you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for the Thru-Hiker Registry to connect with fellow thru-hikers.
