Benton MacKaye Trail

by greer82496

The Benton MacKaye Trail or BMT is a footpath 287.6 miles in length and is named for Benton MacKaye, the Massachusetts forester and regional planner who first had the idea for the Appalachian Trail in 1921. The southern terminus is on Springer Mountain, GA (sharing with the Appalachian Trail's southern terminus) and the northern terminus being Big Creek in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The trail is blazed by a white diamond, 5″ across by 7″ tall.
