To all who delight in hiking the Appalachians, to those who take joy in trekking the many and varied trails there, believe me (for it is true) your Appalachian experience will remain forever incomplete - until you’ve ventured among those spectacular mountains to the north, along the Sentier International des Appalaches/The International Appalachian Trail.

Eb Eberhart: “Nimblewill Nomad” Legendary long distant hiker, Thru-hiker of the Eastern Continental Trail, Poet and author - 10 Million Steps and Where Less The Path is Worn


Legendary long distance hiker Eb “Nimblewill Nomad” Eberhart at the lighthouse on the northern end of Belle Isle. Nimblewill Nomad was the first person to hike the length of the IAT/SIA from Katahdin to Belle Isle at the northern tip of the Island of Newfoundland.
