I remember reading here on Whiteblaze that there was supposed to be a documentary or special on the AT done by the National Geographic Channel that was going to air back in May or June...Did this ever happen?
The film will be released sometime in the 4th quater, which sounds to me like it would be in the fall.
Very beautiful film, and I can't wait to see it again.

It will air in September on Discovery.

Simba was filmed in the 100 Miles and finishing at Katahdin last year. Was wondering when this was going to air
Anyone know the name of the movie/program?

Much of the Appalachian Trail is close to major populations - so how wild can it be? We will travel from South to North and explore the remotest corners of the A.T. and meet the scientists fighting to keep this wilderness wild. Join National Geographic on a rollercoaster ride of agonizing ascents and rewarding vistas -- all courtesy of mountains roughly 480 million years in the making.. Well explore this 5 million step journey through the five distinct regions of the AT landscape and learn what it takes to keep this ribbon of green safe, healthy, and totally wild.

It is a great show. The only way I can see you being disappointed is if it makes you miss the trail!!

I just finally saw it on my Tivo. It was really good. And actually told about the conservation surrounding the trail that you don't usually see.
Just surprised that it from Springer to Mountain Crossings skipped to Shenandoah back to Damascus to Mt Rogers Rec area to Harpers Ferry and up to Maine. So much missed stuff. But I guess you can only put so much in an hour special. Maybe need to do a 5 to 10 parter to get everything.

i'll get it ordered shortly......
