Description

Crossing through 14 states from Maine to Georgia, the Appalachian Trail enters New Jersey during the Delaware Water Gap, crosses New York’s Hudson River, and rises over Connecticut’s Lion’s Head. The area is regarded as by some to be the pathway’s birthplace, for in 1923, just two years after Benton MacKaye initially proposed the trail, the first few miles specifically constructed for the Appalachian Trail were built by volunteers in New York’s Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks. These photographs and the corresponding narrative present a historical point of view on what it took to create the trail, including the thousands of volunteers and the arduous tasks they performed, folks that lived along the trail before and right through its creation, the many of us who have enjoyed the trail over the years, and the original routes which might be no longer a part of the present-day Appalachian Trail.
