For centuries hikers of the Camino de Santiago in Spain acquired a “passport” to document their journey. At each hostel (albergue) along the trail they would get their passport stamped. It provided hikers with a record of where they slept, but also served as proof that the journey was accomplished according to the official route.
Today you can purchase a passport to record your trip of a lifetime along the Appalachian Trail. Most hostels, hiker friendly lodgings and gear outfitters have a personalized stamper for you to add to your collection. Additionally, there are stamping locations at other key points along the trail. These include the ATC headquarters in Harpers Ferry, the AT Museum in Gardners PA, shuttle providers, trail angels and AT Community™ Partners. This document makes for a truly memorable keepsake for both thru hikers and section hikers.
The AT Passport looks similar to the United States Passport used to travel out of the country. It includes space to allow hostels, hiker friendly lodgings, select shuttle providers and many trail angels to stamp your document as you travel on the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. It weighs only 1 ounce, so you can still go ultralight !!!
New this year: United States Post Offices along the trail will stamp your AT Passport with the purchase a one cent stamp.

“Have you ever yearned for simplicity, freedom, adventure? Have you ever woken up one morning and just felt like… walking?”
This is the story of one woman’s break for freedom.
Restless with wanderlust, novice hiker Jan Leitschuh (“LiteShoe”) wondered if she had what it took to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Not yet able to trade her day job for a six-month adventure, Jan hefted a backpack for a month-long hike on what seemed like the easier journey: the Long Trail of Vermont. There, she and her opinionated, heart-attack-challenged hiking partner, Clyde, undertook a crash course in long-distance backpacking, walking 270 miles from Massachusetts to Canada – testing the limits of their physical endurance, friendship and good humor in the process.”
