1、Most people celebrate their 80th birthday with cake and candles, but Betty Kellenberger celebrated hers by making history as she became the oldest woman ever to hike the entire Appalachian Trail — an extraordinary 2,200-mile journey crossing 14 states with height changes equal to climbing Mount Qomolangma 16 times. She said, "You see incredible parts of our country — things you would never experience otherwise — and you encounter so much wildlife and scenery that are simply gorgeous."
Kellenberger grew up on a farm in Howell where her fascination with the famous footpath began. For many years, she dreamed of hiking the trail from Georgia to Maine, but life never allowed for the six-month commitment it required. Eventually, in 2024, she took her first steps on what would become the adventure of a lifetime, a journey that challenged her endurance, strengthened her determination, and revealed the beauty of persistence.
The journey was far from easy. Along the way, she faced severe thirst, a head injury from a fall, and even Lyme disease. Her hike was interrupted by Hurricane Helene, which tore through the eastern United States and forced her to pause at the southern Virginia border, and it was during this unexpected break that she realized the emotional weight of her goal, yet she chose to continue. Determined to finish it, she adjusted her route north and resumed in the spring of 2025, braving the rough terrain of New England while hearing occasional whispers from other hikers who believed she might be on track to break a record.
The oldest woman previously to complete the trail, Linda Vanderloop, had finished it at age 74. When Kellenberger finally reached the end, the emotions hit her with overwhelming relief, pride, and gratitude. She described Maine and New Hampshire as the toughest stretches but also the most rewarding, and now, after months of hiking through rain, heat, tiredness, and obstacles, she says she is in the best shape of her life.
