Nature Steps: Appalachia

Turn your daily steps into a virtual hike of the Appalachian Trail. Nature Steps: Appalachia is a step counter with a destination. It reads your steps from Apple Health and moves you, mile by mile, along the real 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail, from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. Walk to work, walk the dog, walk on a treadmill: every step counts. SEE YOUR PROGRESS ON A REAL MAP Watch your hiker move along the actual trail through 14 states and 35 stages, from the Great Smoky Mountains to Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and the White Mountains. DISCOVER THE TRAIL AS YOU GO Your journey feed fills with short stories about the places you pass: wildlife, geology, history and the people of the trail, written for every stage. COLLECT 105 WILDLIFE SPECIES Each stage adds the animals and plants that live there, from black bears and wild ponies to moose and loons, to your illustrated Field Journal.
