REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.), as part of the ->->Every-Trail-Connects<-<- series presents the video below about the Appalachian Trail and Ponytail Paul (Paul Stiffler) known to those he meets hiking through the woods as the Trail Angel. We all know how special the trail is, but his efforts make it that much more of a gift. Watch the video to find out why!

Quoted from the YouTube video website:

“Many people look to the outdoors to find peace of mind. For Paul Stiffler, better known as Ponytail Paul, the Appalachian Trail and its thru-hikers have been the therapeutic force needed to turn his life around. Paul has taken on a role as “Trail Angel” to help thru-hikers on their 2,186-mile journey and help himself find a new sense of purpose in the process.”
