🎉 History made! At 80 years old, she’s officially the oldest woman to complete a thru-hike on the A.T. A true legend on the trail. 🥾

🚨 Betty Kellenberger has officially set a new milestone by becoming the oldest woman to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail at the age of 80.

On September 12, she reached the end of her journey, securing her place in history. Before her, the women’s age record was held by Linda “Nana” Vanderloop, who completed the trail at 74 just the year before. Interestingly, much like Vanderloop, Kellenberger never stepped onto the trail with the intention of chasing a record. “The record wasn’t on my mind. I was almost finished before people started asking my age and suggesting I might be setting one,” she explained.

For Kellenberger, this accomplishment was rooted in something far deeper than recognition—it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. From the time she was a child, she imagined what it would be like to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, and decades later, she finally made that dream a reality.

You don’t need fancy gear to get outside and backpack. Walmart actually has some solid, budget-friendly stuff that'll get you on the trail without draining your wallet. One of my favorites is the Ozark Trail 40L Lightweight Backpack. It has plenty of space for a weekend trip, it's comfortable to carry, and it's super affordable.

For shoes, check out the Ozark Trail Men’s Waterproof Hiking Sneakers. They’re light, breathable, and have good grip. Perfect for a park walk or a shorter trail. Add a comfy insole and you're good to go.

Adventure starts with what you’ve got — grab your pack and hit the trail! 🌲✨

Roots to Peaks Outdoor Ministry helps kids heal from trauma through hiking, camping, and outdoor adventures. Launching soon—discover hope in nature.
