"What :
- ETSU students are helping to build a new section of the Appalachian Trail at Iron Mountain Gap, 20 miles from campus.

- The work is being coordinated by the Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club ( TEHCC ) . 

- The new trail section replaces a poorly-graded older section, as part a long term plan to improve the AT in our area.

About the A.T.:

The Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club coordinates the maintenance of 132 miles of the trail -- including some of the roughest segments on the entire trail! -- in Virginia , Tennessee and North Carolina"
