Total Elevation Gain
I figured out the total elevation gain hiking the first 207 miles of the AT and compared it to the total elevation gain of the 210 mile John Muir Trail. I climbed about 37,000 feet on the AT in 207 miles. According to Wikipedia, the total elevation gain on the JMT is 46,000 feet, hiking north to south. I thought that maybe the AT would surpass it, but it's still impressive. A good workout.
