The Appalachian Trail consists of 2,168 miles of
breathtakingly beautiful country. It extends from the top of Mt.
Katahdin in Main to the top of Springer Mountain in Georgia. The Trail passes
through New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains,
the Berkshires, Catskills, and Poconos. Towards the southern end are
the Appalachian Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley, and the Great

It is not imagery because it does not appeal to our physical senses.
