What is WeHikeAT About?

At its core, WeHikeAT exists to tell the stories of Appalachian Trail thru hikers in a way that is both informative and entertaining. While many hiking channels focus on a single person’s experience, WeHikeAT is built around the bigger story of the trail itself and the hikers moving through it each season.

We follow one featured hiker at a time, sharing their journey through daily recaps that capture what happened on trail, major milestones, setbacks, trail culture, frequently asked questions, backpacking knowledge, and the kind of details that only make sense when you’ve lived out there day after day.

The goal is to create something viewers can follow year after year. Every thru-hiking season brings a new story, a new hiker, and a new reason to keep watching.

Why People Watch?

WeHikeAT gives viewers a way to stay connected to the Appalachian Trail without needing to be on it themselves.

Our videos are made for people who:

  • already follow the trail community
  • want daily updates from a real thru hike
  • are planning their own hike one day
  • enjoy learning about backpacking, trail life, and thru-hiker culture
  • want a more complete picture of the AT than a single vlog can provide

Each recap is designed to be easy to follow, engaging to watch, and packed with value. Some days are about major trail moments. Other days are about lessons learned, gear questions, stats, trail tips, town stops, mindset, or the small details that make long-distance hiking so interesting.

How WeHikeAT Supports the Trail Community?

WeHikeAT is not just about covering hikes. It is about helping make them possible.

A big part of this project is giving more hikers the chance to get out on the Appalachian Trail and have their stories told. We do that by partnering with thru hikers and paying for footage that helps us produce the recaps and content our audience follows throughout the season.

By supporting WeHikeAT, viewers are also helping support more trail stories, more hikers, and more opportunities for future seasons.

Our mission is simple: telling the stories of Appalachian Trail thru hikers while helping more people get out on the trail and follow those journeys from home
