Grandma Gatewood's WalkThe Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail

Ben Montgomery

Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of

clothes and less than two hundred dollars. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-yold great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955,having survived a rattlesnake strike, two hurricanes, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem, she stood ato

Maine's Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll it, and I've done it."

Grandma Gatewood, as the reporters called her, became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trailalone, as well as the first person-man or woman-to walk it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking

celebrity and appeared on TV and in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public attention she brought to thelittle-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the lousy, difficult stretches led to bolstered

maintenance, and very likely saved the trail from extinction.
