THE L.L.BEAN A.T. RELAY
Walking the Walk
on the Appalachian Trail
We're sending 86 L.L.Bean employees to hike in pairs along sections of the legendary Appalachian Trail, from the foothills of Georgia to the mountains of Maine, passing 20 of our retail stores along the way. Because whether your trail leads you around the block or 2,200 miles up the East Coast, it's always better to walk it together.
2,180 miles

On ONE TRAIL that connects us all
Preserving the Trail
For decades, hundreds of L.L.Bean employees have volunteered their time to make sure a section of the A.T. in Northern Maine stays pristine for all those who hike it. We're proud to have partnered with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to protect this special trail, while supporting dozens of cleanup efforts just like ours along its entire length.
Our A.T. Relay Packing List
When hitting the trail, it's important to pack light and pack smart. Here's how our hikers are loading up before they head out.
