Do you know someone who has hiked the Appalachian Trail? Want to see that person’s picture when he or she came through Harper’s Ferry, home of the A.T. Conference headquarters in West Virginia? Simply go to www.athikerpictures.org type in the information, and you can view the hiker.
I tried it for me. On the site, all I typed in was my first and last name—Ray Anderson. I didn’t give my trail name nor did I even note the year I hiked the A.T. I clicked on submit and a screen came up listing my trail name, Hamlet, my given name, and the option to view my picture. Sure enough, the picture came up as seen here, along with the date it was taken.
A.T. at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia
Try looking up some of your friends. They may be surprised if you email them their photo.
Writer and hiker. My forthcoming novel, LIFT: The Rise of Mathe-Lingua-Musica, is speculative fiction. The novel releases in April 2024.
Have hiked the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, The Long Trail (Vermont), and some of the Continental Divide Trail. My trail name is "HAMLET." Have written three hiking novels (thrillers) which take place along three separate long-distance hiking trails. The first one, "THE TRAIL," (Appalachian trail) was traditionally published in 2015. My second hiking thriller, "SIERRA," (Pacific Crest Trail) released in 2016. Book three in my AWOL hiking-thriller series, "THE DIVIDE" (Continental Divide Trail) released in 2020. www.RayKAnderson.com

Let’s give due credit for this to the Appalachian Trail Museum, which spearheaded the effort to get this up and online. With help from the ATC and the Quimby Foundation that paid for it all.

Yes, indeed. We owe a lot to the Appalachian Trail Museum.
