Appalachian Trail Documentary on Nat. Geo Channel?

**Ridgeline** · 08-17-2009, 11:11

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.

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!!
