Description

We encourage you to take the Leave No Trace Quiz before purchasing a hangtag:LNT Quiz

The A.T. hangtags distributed by the ATC are designed to hang from a hiker’s backpack during their attempts to complete all 2,190+ miles of the Trail, whether in one continuous thru-hike or over a series of section hikes. The front features the A.T. logo and the year of the attempted thru-hike and the back provides Leave No Trace information and a blank area where hikers can personalize the tags with a registration number, Trail name, or other information. The hangtags are in the shape of an elliptical triangle,the same shape as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail logo.

The ATC developed the A.T. hangtags in 2015 when the voluntary thru-hiker registration program began, now known asATCamp. Registering your hike on ATCamp helps hikers choose less crowded starting dates for their hikes, which helps reduce overcrowding and the subsequent damage to the Trail and its surrounding environment.

In addition to providing a way for hikers to celebrate their thru-hike attempts, the primary purpose of the A.T. hangtag is to promote sustainable hiking practices aligned withLeave No Trace principles.

    Exactly the same tag that I lost on the trail

    Switched to a new pack a few weeks into the trek and didn't effectively attach the hangtag. This is exactly the same as the hangtag received in HF. One is going on the Christmas tree today.

    This would be better as stamped metal. It is plastic, like a credit card but it smells toxic. Toxic inks maybe?

    Exactly as advertised

    Just like the ones handed out at basecamp. We picked up our '23s at Amicalola we we started our thru attempt this spring and wanted some '21s and '22s for our scrapbook -- since those are years we also completed major sections. '21s are in stock (at time of order) and we got those quickly. Unfortunately it looks like we missed the boat on the '22s.
