Student Choosing- Amanda Ewen

Outside Reading- The Spirit of the Appalachian Trail: Community, Environment, and Belief- Chapter 3


            The chapter is title Today’s Hiker: Gender, Age, and Religious Affiliation. The authors of the book surveyed many hikers to find their statistics.  I thought this chapter was interesting because we never really talked about the ages of typical hikers.  I know they are of all ages but in this chapter they said they were of younger population and have never been married.  Most of the hikers were also very well educated which I feel tells us the type of people who can handle hiking the trail.  However, they did find that there was no religion that was more predominant on the trail.
