We did it!
On Saturday, September 9, the exact 40th birthday of the MST, more than 1700 people working together completed 100% of the MST hiking route, from Clingmans Dome on the Tennessee line to Jockey’s Ridge State Park on the coast.

Thanks to everyone who hiked and paddled and to those who have shared stories and photos from the day.
