A.T. Hikers is a group that discusses hiking on the Appalachian Trail and other subjects related to backpacking. While concerned primarily with exchanging information on long-distance hikes of the A.T--especially thru-hikes--the Group welcomes day-trippers, weekenders, or anyone who has an interest in the Appalachian Trail. What matters here is not your wealth of experience or your miles on the Trail; what matters is your enthusiasm, your desire to share your knowledge with others, and mutual respect for other points of view.
