When I hiked the Appalachian Trail SouthBound in 2018, I didn’t wear ear phones, or ear buds, or play music. I listened to the soundtrack of an incredible journey! Birds, thunder, wisping trees, babbling brooks, but at night, I sometimes turned on my little handheld radio. I brought it with me to catch a weather forecast and to listen to NY Mets broadcasts. When I couldn’t hear a game on the AM radio band, I tuned into FM stations to catch a forecast, and these are some of the songs that I heard.
Other songs on the Appalachian Trail Soundtrack are songs that played in my head when they were needed the most. Every song on this list has a story, and every story is from the AT.
Check back, because over the next few months I’ll be adding stories to those songs.
Make sure you have Spotify, it’s free to download, and you get to enjoy the playlist they way I hoped it would be heard.
