“The natural beauty of the Appalachian Trail has delighted millions throughout the years,” said Daniel Tangherlini, a member of USPS Board of Governors. “The trail’s creation is a very American story. It exists thanks to a collaboration between the government and the people. That same grassroots spirit helps preserve the trail today.
 
Those who hike the trail have the opportunity to summit Mount Washington, the tallest peak in the northeast, walk along a peaceful creek, or follow in the footsteps of history where the trail becomes part of the towpath for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.”
Tangherlini was joined for the ceremony by Sandra “Sandi” Marra, president and CEO of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC).
 
“The issuance of the Appalachian Trail Forever stamps is a marvelous way to spotlight and celebrate one of our country’s most treasured places during the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s centennial year in 2025,” said Marra. “The ATC works passionately to manage and protect the A.T., and these stamps wonderfully display the wild and scenic beauty of the trail and its landscape, which attracts, motivates and inspires millions of people from around the world to step foot on this beloved path and walk away transformed."
