The Appalachian Trail (US 2025)

From the USPS press release November 15, 2024:

Covering almost 2,200 miles of footpath along one of Earth’s most ancient mountain ranges, the century- old Appalachian National Scenic Trail is within easy reach of large metropolitan areas of the East Coast. The Appalachian Trail is maintained by a network of volunteer clubs, led by the nonprofit Appalachian Trail Conservancy. This pane of 15 stamps includes a photographic view from each of the 14 states along the Maine-to-Georgia trail with an additional stamp showing stretches of trail through dense forest. Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps with images from various photographers.

Additional information will be posted below the line, with the most recent information at the top.

For those (like me) who were wondering exactly where each stamp shows, this is courtesy Kim Frum of the USPS:The stamps begin with an image of what’s known as the “green tunnel” in Virginia, the iconic Mount Katahdin in Maine, and a waterfall in Tennessee.The second row of stamps feature photos taken from Mount Washington in New Hampshire, a waterfall along the trail in Georgia, and a view of the Green Mountains in Vermont.The third row includes an image of a creek in Pennsylvania, the Hagerstown Valley section of the trail in Maryland, and a view from Jefferson Rock in historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.The fourth row features the Roan Mountain highlands of western North Carolina, followed by a waterfall in the foothills of New York’s Catskill Mountains, and a scene from the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.The last row starts with McAfee Knob in Virginia, followed by a boardwalk section of the trail in New Jersey, and lastly a footbridge in Connecticut that spans the Ten Mile River.
