"The Appalachian Trail is growing, but not by leaps and bounds.
"According to the new edition of the Appalachian Trail Data Book, the official length of the trail is 2,181 miles. The minor growth spurt of 1.9 miles comes from trail relocations and re-measurements in 2010.
"This year, increases in the trail included Tennessee-North Carolina (0.9 miles); Massachusetts-Connecticut (0.2 miles); New York-New Jersey (0.9 miles); and central Virginia (0.1 miles). There was also a small reduction in Virginia.
"The Tennessee-North Carolina addition of 0.9 miles is the sum of several minor trail reroutes in the Roan Mountain Highlands region of upper East Tennessee near the North Carolina border. ..."
