Did you know that the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) traverses one of Earth’s most ancient mountain ranges, born of tectonic events that began hundreds of millions of years ago? A hike on the A.T. is truly a journey through time.

Join the USPS in celebrating a century of the A.T. with 15 stamps, issued February 28, 2025, available now by pre-order in the links below. The stamps’ photographic views spotlight the varied beauty along the Maine-to-Georgia footpath.

Although thru-hikers — those who trek the trail’s nearly 2,200 miles in a single season — attract much attention, most of the millions who hike on the trail each year access it via any of its many entry points. They take in the scenery for a few hours, or camp for a few nights, and delight in the physical activity and mental refresh known to generations of Appalachian Trail devotees.
