This Week’s Top Instagram Photos from the #AppalachianTrail

The 2016 thru-hiking season has only just begun and we’re back in the saddle ready to bring you all of that sweet instagramy goodness to help satiate your unquenchable hiker lust. So if you’re sad you’re not out on the trail today sit back and join the rest of the Internet as we live vicariously through our hiker trash brethren.

We peruse all of the wonderful pictures from Instagram with the hashtag #AppalachianTrail and #AppalachianTrials and select a few of the best each week to highlight for your viewing pleasure!

This week we take a look at photos snapped between 03/21/16 – 03/28/16.

If you would like your picture to be included, be sure to use the hashtag #AppalachianTrail and/or #AppalachianTrials (we give preference to this one). And follow Appalachian Trials on Instagram for even more AT love.

Here is this week’s best pictures from the #AppalachianTrail:

Paul was a large man, a larger man than I. His boots are large, leather, and heavy. I imagine they looked just right on him, being a man of large stature himself. If I could, I’d wear them myself, but they are several sizes larger than my own. So here they will travel, tucked into the straps on my backpack. I’ll be sure to see that they get just as dirty. It’s an honor to shoulder the load so that #PaulWalksOn. Here’s Paul during breakfast overlooking #ThePriest from #ThreeRidges in #Virginia on the #AppalachianTrail. I played Crimson And Clover by Tommy James and The Shondells while we took our break. His wife informed me it was one of his favorite songs and he would play it on repeat, or rather, “over and over”. To the point where she would threaten him with bodily harm. She is a crafter and her favorite threat was “don’t be surprised when you wake up with green sequins on your balls… and I’ll be using pins not glue!” Haha. @rei @ducttapethenbeer

Kenny Howell's Bio

My name is Kenny but you can call me Bottle Cap. In 2013 I came down with a bout of Springer Fever and left my job to wander the Appalachian Trail with my fiance (now wife) Fun-Size. Since leaving the trail Fun-Size and I find ourselves trying to make life work in southern California while still maintaining our love for long-distance hiking. So many trails, so little time.
