More than a necklace, it’s a map of the Appalachian Trail! Each bead on this 18-inch necklace represents roughly 25 trail miles, and the 14 colors represent the 14 states the AT travels through from Georgia to Maine. Bead colors were carefully chosen to highlight a unique feature of the trail in each state. It comes with a mileage key and a moveable tracking ring that you can use to track your progress along the trail or mark a special place. The Bead by Bead on the Appalachian Trail necklace is the perfect gift for the hiker in your life, a celebratory or inspirational piece for yourself, and can even be worn by those at home to follow their favorite hiker along the trail.
