Times change, but the Appalachian Trail always stays the same … or does it? For hikers, the white blazes can feel like the one constant in an unpredictable world, a safe haven we can return to again and again when the chaos of life feels like too much.
“The trail will always be there,” we assure each other whenever one of us has to cancel a planned hike or get off trail earlier than expected. Whether it’s in one year or ten, we take for granted that the AT will be waiting for us, dynamic yet unchanging, whenever we’re ready to return to it.
