36 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers You Need to Be Following This Year
Each year, dozens of The Trek’s beloved bloggers and vloggers 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 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’s Appalachian Trail Instagram account and our general Instagram account for The Trek.
Without further ado, here is 2019’s best-and-brightest hiker trash on the Appalachian Trail.

Thank you for including me!! 🙂 24 days!
Anybody over 60?
Just have to come out and say it,
My 46 Traimily members think you guys forgot about me this year. ? I am the one hiking in the name of his wife of 18 years that passed away 6 years ago. It was her dream that when we got the kids off to college for us to hike the AT. I got the kids off and not sure what to do with my life and I am doing my best to follow her dream. I have signed almost all the Shelter log books in her name besides 4 and have 17 more to sign before the end of the trail. I am at mile 2003.6 and almost there.
In memory of Jenny Schneider
-Memorial
