Appalachian Trail 1975

Over the holiday weekend, I hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail that I had last visited in June 1975.

While the route has been taken off dirt roads and moved to the west, you can still see the blazes on Brace Road.




Now crossing Beartown Mountain Road, the new trail looks like this.





From 1973, USGS Topo maps show the different routes over time.  First map is 1973, second is 2018.



Notice the trail is still listed in the former route on the 2018 map.
