Appalachian National Scenic Trail To Be Featured On Forever Stamps

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail will be featured on a series of Forever Samps/USPS

You'll soon be able to mail the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.

Well, you'll be able to mail images of the famous footpath that winds through 14 states from Maine to Georgia.

On February 28 the U.S. Postal Service will release a pane of 15 Forever stamps bearing images of the A.T. The sheet of stamps is arranged in five horizontal rows of three stamps featuring scenic images taken along the trail. The event will be celebrated at Georgia's Amicalola Falls State Park, which is about 8 miles from the A.T.

Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed the pane using existing photographs.

As the Postal Service points out in a release announcing the new stamps, the A.T. "was established on the notion that in the increasingly hectic and industrialized world, it is physically and spiritually restorative for an individual to ramble, one step at a time, through unspoiled nature."

You'll be able to buy the stamps and other philatelic products through The Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-737-7826, by mail through USA Philatelic or at Post Office locations nationwide. Additional information on stamps, First Day of Issue Ceremonies and stamp inspired products can be found at StampsForever.com.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
