Eric Campbell Okay, I've been asleep, apparently. What documentary is this? What channel was it on? Maybe I can find an encore presentation?

Tom I wish the documentory spoke more about the Smoky Mountains and not the fact that the water is poluted with acid rain; which it is. I love the Smokies alot. Mt Cammerer, Mt LeConte, Chimnies, Grado Falls, Rainbow Falls, Greenbriar Forest (most of which are not directly on the AT, but still wonderful sights).

I love taking the AT up from Newfound Gap to climb up to Mt Leconte.

Brad Wender I was at Walasi-Yi a couple of weeks ago while looking at leaf color in the N Ga mtns. It was nice the show mentioned the facility, but it sure provides a much greater experience than the show suggested. The building was built in the early 1930's by the CCC, and because of it's stone construction, Im sure it will be around to see it's 100th anniversary.

Appalachian Trail Conservancy For those of you inspired to head out on the A.T. after viewing last night's film, here is the third installment of The Lure of the Long Trail: Planning a Thru-Hike. Or visit trailspace.com an ATC partner and supporter. Enjoy!

Source: www.trailspace.com
In the third of four columns on planning a thru-hike, Triple Crowners — hikers who have completed the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail (that’s nearly 8,000 miles of trail) — offer advice to first-time thru-hikers on how to stay safe and have fun.

I always thought the Virginia Highlands was the area around Mt. Rogers, where all the pygmy ponies are.

I agree with Marty. The hikers and their stories as well as the mountains and scenery are part of the alure of the AT hike.

When you do your hike let me know when you get close to Washington, DC. I thru-hiked southbound in '02 and I love to do trail magic. Happy Trails, Play-doh '02

Johnny Longo watched it on on demand it was awsome to see air shots like that

Lauren

Lauren LOVED IT! I would have watched a few more hours of it. :) It's a lot to cram into one hour, but it was very well done. I love the shots of it from the air. So... when does it come out on DVD???

Kerry Snow Great show! Kudos to Laurie and the rest of the ATC gang. Really nicely done. I saw Todd's name mentioned as well, but didn't see the man himself...maybe in the sequel...Revenge of the AT ;-)
