To The Woods Quotes

“It is the best of things American – imaginative and bold, an exciting celebration of the wilderness but accessible to all, federal in structure and participative in approach, publicly owned, a little miracle. I have travelled all this way in miles and years to celebrate my confused relationship with the US, prompted almost entirely by cultural and political interests, only to discover it is the land which captures me and points me towards a clearer understanding. In modern America it would be impossible to develop the Trail from scratch, so much have things changed. The barriers are now too big. This should encourage us to celebrate the Trail’s existence all the more.”
― John Scott, To The Woods: A Journey Along The Appalachian Trail
