All,

I'm looking to give my hiking adventures more of a presence in my home decor and one of the things that came to mind was a map of the AT end to end (that I could highlight with a red-sharpie as I complete my section hikes). There has to be a long map of the AT somewhere out there, right? I don't need a topo-map, but one that would be a good visual of the AT at a high level (I'm thinking a 4-5' x 12-18" would be good). I think vertical orientation would be good, but horizontal would be cool too.

Anyone ever heard or seen these?

Thanks!

I see this one every time I'm in EMS, 18" x 4'. Looks pretty cool

Me, too, and my father-in-law framed it for me. Hangs in the library. I use sticky notes to track my section hikes.
