Reviewed February 1, 2017. The trail runs from Pittsburgh Pa. to Cumberland Md. to the terminus of the C&O Canal. The first couple of miles of the trail from Cumberland through the Historic Narrows is paved. This makes for a great walking trail or for riding bikes.
The master-mind behind this was Benton MacKaye, who proposed the idea in 1921. With the help of countless volunteers, it became a success in 1937, and it is still known today as one of the most popular trails in the world. Running through 14 different states at 2,179 miles long, the Appalachian Trail is the nation's longest marked trail! It goes through several National Forests, National Parks and State Parks. The lowest elevation along the trail is near the Trailside Museum and Zoo at Bear Mountain in New York at 124 feet. The highest elevation stands at 6,625 feet in Tennessee on Clingman's Dome.
