My name is Stacey and in 2014 I completed a 2,185.3 mile northbound thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. I made daily updates to this blog for the first 1,000 miles or so. Now my focus has shifted to reflecting on my time in the woods and sharing my knowledge with aspiring hikers. If there is anything in particular you'd like me to write about, please let me know! I'm always happy to share my experiences out on the trail.

An AT Reading List

For those of you interested in getting to know more about the Appalachian Trail and some of the people who have hiked it, here is a list of the books I've read so far:

I've read AWOL on the Appalachian Trail and LOVED it! Sorry I'm all over your social media pages. I'm so excited to live this vicariously through you (Through = no pun intended)!
