I graduated high school during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of paying full tuition for a quasi-college experience, I took my destiny into my own hands and did something I had always wanted to do. I embarked on the 2,193-mile-long Appalachian Trail.
The AT traverses through 14 different states along the Appalachian mountain range from Georgia up to Maine. Only ~22,000 people have completed the trail since its completion in 1936 and only 10-20% of people who attempt to finish the trail each year actually finish it.
