86 Years Ago Today...

On October 1, 1921 Benton MacKaye's article entitled "An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning" was published in the Journal of the American Institute of Architects. This article turned out to inspire thousands of Americans to build the Appalachian Trail. Today the "AT" as it is affectionately known, is arguably the most well known hiking in the world.
