This is a mystery question! Ha. All through the years there have been various miles quoted. With our GPS technology now, we should have an exact distance. With changes made in the trail since its creation, the distance has changed with it. Here is what I have found in my research.
2,015 miles from "The Appalachian Trail" by Ronald Fisher 1972
2,155 miles from "There are Mountains to Climb" by Jean Deeds 1996
2167.9 miles from "Blind Courage" by Bill Irwin with David McCasland 1992
2179.1 miles from "The AT Guide" by David"Awol" Miller 2013 edition
Have you noticed it gets longer with time? Ha..
