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.
