Appalachian Trail Map - Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
2,197.9 miles, one continuous footpath, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Appalachian Trail Map is a layered wooden wall art piece featuring the full route of America's most legendary long-distance trail, expertly laser cut from premium birch and/or walnut plywood, a handcrafted tribute to the footpath that winds from Georgia to Maine along the crest of the Appalachian Mountains.
Fourteen States, One Legendary Trail, Captured in Wood
Stretching from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine, the Appalachian Trail measures 2,197.9 miles for the 2026 season, a figure that shifts slightly nearly every year as trail crews reroute and refine the footpath. Conceived by regional planner Benton MacKaye in the 1920s, with the first section opening in New York in 1923, the trail was finally completed as a continuous footpath in 1937. Today it crosses through 14 states, 8 national forests, and 6 units of the National Park System, climbing as high as 6,643 feet atop Kuwohi in the Great Smoky Mountains and dropping as low as 124 feet at Bear Mountain State Park in New York. This handcrafted map traces the entire white-blazed route, state by state, in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every State, Every Mile, Every Memory
The Appalachian Trail is a living, evolving footpath, maintained entirely by volunteers from local trail clubs working alongside the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the National Park Service. From the balds of North Carolina and the deep hollows of the Great Smoky Mountains, through the rolling green ridgelines of Virginia, the rocky, boot-eating terrain of Pennsylvania, and the rugged, above-treeline exposure of New Hampshire's White Mountains, the trail reveals a completely different character in nearly every state it crosses. Thousands of thru-hikers attempt the entire route each year, typically setting out from Springer Mountain in early spring and spending five to seven months walking north to the trail's dramatic finish atop Mount Katahdin, joining the ranks of the "2,000-milers" who have earned that title through sweat, blisters, and sheer persistence. Millions more section-hike, day-hike, or simply dream of the trail from a distance, and this map is built to honor every version of that journey, whether it lives in memory or still lies ahead.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Made in the USA
All Mountaincut wooden maps are precision laser cut and etched, hand-stained, and finished in the United States using birch and/or walnut plywood. The layered construction creates a rich, dimensional look where the trail's full route and the ridgelines it follows stand out in beautiful relief. Hanging hardware comes preinstalled, so your new map will be on display in minutes.
Because each piece is crafted from real wood, no two maps are exactly alike, with natural variations in the grain and stain giving every piece its own character, just like the trail itself.
The Perfect Gift for AT Hikers
Whether you completed a thru-hike and earned your 2,000-miler title, section-hiked your way through a handful of states over the years, day-hiked a favorite stretch near home, or simply dream of one day setting out from Springer Mountain, this map is a lasting reminder of the trail that has shaped so many lives. It makes a genuinely meaningful gift for a hiker celebrating a finished thru-hike, a trail angel, or anyone who counts the AT among the great loves of their life.
