Congratulations to these 2025 Appalachian Trail Finalists (Part 4)

tThe Appalachian Trail is often considered one of the most difficult and iconic hikes in North America, stretching 2,200 miles between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine. Every year, thousands of hikers undertake this unforgettable journey, pushing their physical and mental limits.

Successfully completing a thru-hike on the AT is a huge accomplishment, requiring unwavering determination, mental toughness, and emotional resilience. We’re thrilled to highlight the amazing hikers who completed this trip in 2025!
