See You Tomorrow
With six straight days of backpacking complete and 11 straight planned next, it was definitely time for a zero. I clog my arteries with unhealthy foods, I whirl through blog posting, and I am left agog during an exciting Miami Grand Prix. May 10, 2026 : See You Tomorrow
Whitney Alana, Author at The Trek
Hi! My name is Whitney but those who know me from the trail know me as Tip Toe. Upon completing my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2014, I relocated to the White Mountains of New Hampshire where I spend most of my time hiking, writing and photographing all my adventures. When I'm not out adventuring I'm working hard slingin' drinks at a local watering hole so I can save up for the next big adventure.

In Grief, Longville Man Hikes Appalachian Trail To Help Church Convert To Solar Energy
MINNEAPOLIS — Life’s journey takes us down a variety of different paths. The current path for a 78-year-old Longville man is the Appalachian Trail. In March, Egon Overgaard decided to walk the entire trail. He started in Georgia and he’s getting close to the end, in Maine. Sitting comfortably at mile marker 1760, Overgaard had a few minutes to reflect on just how far he’s come. And not just the nearly 2,000 miles he’s hiked, but also the grief he’s trying to leave behind.
National Environmental Protect Act Under Fire
EDITOR’S NOTE: In July 2020, the National Environmental Policy Act was updated for the first time in more than 40 years. These updates, which take effect on September 14, 2020, will hobble this bedrock piece of environmental legislation. On July 29, 2020, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a coalition of partners filed a lawsuit challenging new National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations issued earlier this month.

Backpacking & Camping
It’s the tallest peak on Georgia’s stretch of the Appalachian Trail, offering stunning summit views. And it’s one of Georgia’s most popular hiking destinations. Blood Mountain draws day hikers and backpackers to its summit by the dozens every fair-weather weekend. But there’s more to Blood Mountain than the often-hiked route from Neels Gap to the 4,458-foot summit.

Appalachian Trail speed-record setter fined $500 for partying
TRAILS -- That cheap champagne to celebrate a record-setting completion of the Appalachian Trail got a lot more expensive today. Ultramarathoner Scott Jurek paid a $500 fine in Portland, Maine, to settle citations over his celebration atop the state’s Mount Katahdin that struck a nerve with park officials worried about crowding and commercialization of the historic footpath.
