Stretching across more than 6,800 miles and 15 states, the ADT is the only coast-to-coast, non-motorized recreational trail. Linking communities, cities, parks and wilderness, the ADT allows people to hike, bike, trail run or ride horses for an afternoon or a cross-country adventure. The trail provides users the opportunity to journey into the heart of all that is uniquely American, its culture, heritage, landscape and spirit.

The ADT is all about connections ? people to people, community to community, urban areas to wilderness. It provides the opportunity for the most adventurous to travel from coast to coast, truly discovering the heart of America. More importantly it provides millions of people access to a trail system that improves quality of life and protects our natural resources.

Get out on the trail, whether for two hours or more than two months, and have fun!
