The U.S. Postal Service will release stamps honoring the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which offers nearly 2,200 miles of unspoiled nature to the millions who hike it each year. Within easy reach of large East Coast metropolitan areas, the Appalachian Trail — often called the AT — provides peace, beauty and a break from the stresses of modern life. The pane of 15 Forever stamps is arranged in five horizontal rows of three stamps featuring scenic images taken along the trail, which spans 14 states from Maine to Georgia. Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed the pane using existing photographs. The first-day-of-issue event for The Appalachian Trail stamps is free and open to the public. News of the stamps is being shared with the hashtag #AppalachianTrailStamps.
