the appalachian trail is my favorite.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, generally known as the Appalachian Trail or simply the A.T., is a marked hiking trail in the Eastern United States extending between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine. The trail is estimated around 2,200 miles (3,500\u00a0km) long, though the exact length changes over time as parts are modified or rerouted. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is the longest hiking-only trail in the world. More than 2 million people are said to take a hike on part of the trail at least once each year. The idea of the Appalachian Trail came about in 1921. The trail itself was completed in 1937 after more than a decade of work, although improvements and changes continue. It is maintained by 31 trail clubs and multiple partnerships, and managed by the National Park Service, United States Forest Service, and the nonprofit Appalachian Trail Conservancy. The majority of the trail is in forest or wild lands, although some portions traverse towns, roads and farms. It passes through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The Appalachian Trail is one of the many places I want to see before 30. It extends from the state of Georgia all the way to Maine"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Me too! Doesn't it go through Tennessee as well?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yep, I think it cuts through a lot of the southeastern states. I love Tennessee, I used to have family there"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I used to live in TN myself! It sounds like such a long trail. Do you know how many miles the Appalachian Trail covers?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's around 2200 miles long, even doing 50 miles walking a day (a full day of walking) it would easily take one person months. There are towns especially intended as pit stops for trail walkers."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Interesting! Is it longer or shorter than the Pacific Crest Trail?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The PCT is actually 2650+ miles long, so it definitely takes the cake. I imagine due to it's climate zones it's much more difficult to traverse."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Probably so. Do you know anything about the history of the Appalachian Trail?"}]
