The 2018 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers You Should be Following on Instagram

Each year, dozens of The Trek’s beloved bloggers hit the Appalachian Trail and, in addition to their prolific prose, also capture their  journeys via Instagram. Follow along to feel the excitement, send good vibes, track our progress, and, hopefully, gain some inspiration for a hike of your own.

Throughout our trips, we’ll be using #TheTrek and #TrekTheAT hashtags. You can also get the best of all our posts through The Trek: Appalachian Trail and TheTrek Instagram accounts.

Without further ado, here is this year’s best-and-brightest hiker trash.
