Appalachian Trail: End-to-end in five minutes

Green Tunnel from Kevin Gallagher on Vimeo.

HIKING - Under the trail name "Fester," Virginia hiker Kevin Gallagher hiked the 2,200 miles of the Appalachian Trail.  Then he compiled some 4,000 photos into a stop-motion video called Green Tunnel, which gives a view of the trail from end to end in five minutes.

It's pretty clear that the scenery just gets better and better as one heads north into Main to the trail terminus at Mount Katadyn.
