The Appalachian Trail Stamps Arrive Feb. 28, 2025

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.
