The Appalachian Trail turned 100-years-old in 2021. It was a Stamford, Connecticut native whose vision led to the creation of the iconic walkway through the eastern United States. You'll hear all about the incredible statistics associated with the trail -- who walked it the fastest, who did the first walk along the entire trail, how many people now hike the entire trail each year, who was the first woman to do so, who's the youngest hiker to walk the entire 2,100 miles and how many murders have been recorded on the trail.
