Идея оборудования Тропы появилась в 1920 году. Лесник Б. МакКей предложил достаточно оригинальный план ее организации. И уже в 1923 году был открыт небольшой участок пути. В том виде, в котором туристы узнают Тропу сейчас, она сформировалась к концу двадцатого столетия. На сегодняшний день существует множество организаций и клубов, следящих за состоянием и чистотой Тропы. Весь маршрут маркирован белыми прямоугольниками. Кроме того, на нем расположено более 265 убежищ, позволяющих укрыться от дождя и существенно облегчающих путешествие.

The Appalachian trail represents a unique walking route about 3450 km long (2150 miles). It passes through 14 states – from Georgia in the south to Meyn in the north. The route originates at top of the mountain of Spring, goes on the Appalachsky ridge and Kalangding comes to an end on the mountain. A track on all its extent – the national park. Its total area makes about three and a half hectares.
The idea of the equipment of the Track appeared in 1920. The forester B. Mackay offered rather original plan of its organization. And in 1923 the small site of a way was open. In the form in which tourists learn the Track now, it was created by the end of the twentieth century. Today there is a set of the organizations and clubs watching a state and purity of the Track. All route is marked by white rectangles. Besides, on it more than 265 shelters allowing to take cover from a rain and significantly facilitating travel are located.
On the Track it is possible to meet the most various tourists. Their annual number fluctuates from three to four million. The majority of pedestrians appear on a route for the sake of walk on fresh air and don't set before themselves the grandiose purposes. Their travel lasts from several days to one week - two. One more category traveling on the Track – "sektsionnik". They come to a route for longer period – 3 – 10 weeks and overcome during this time some hundreds of miles. And "drafts" which travel lasts some months. These are the people passing the Track entirely, through. It is easy to distinguish them from other weight on appearance and the size of backpacks.
