Costs
The cost of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail can vary widely depending on a lot of factors. Expect the cost of a through hike to be in the ballpark of $8,000 – $12,000 by the time you finish.
Planning
Over planning is a common pitfall. Plan the broad strokes, set goals and milestones but leave the day-to-day minutia flexible. You’ll find planning ad-hoc for about 4 – 6 days at a time while on the trail to be more effective as you consider points to resupply.
Hiking
If you are not in great physical shape some physical training and conditioning will certainly help, however, regardless of your starting fitness the trail will break you down and mold you into your peak physical condition within the first few weeks.
About the AT
Conceived by Benton MacKaye in 1921, the Appalachian Trail was constructed through a collaborative effort between a plethora of volunteers, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and many hiking clubs.
The Appalachian Trail Conference was created to coordinate the planning and construction of the trail, which was completed in 1937 with the final section in Main. 1948 saw the first recorded Thru-hike when Earl “The Crazy One” Shaffer hiked the entire length of the trail in one continuous journey.

Gear
Pack light; if you think you need it, you don’t. You will quickly find that if you aren’t using something multiple times per-day it is excess weight that you will trim. You’ll find the first few hostels along the way will be filled with abandoned or “donated” gear as hikers look to cut their pack weight.
