This wiki page is to capture relocations of the Appalachian Trail. Some relos will result in a change of trail distance, thus reported for annual data book update. This page, like the trail itself, is a work in progress to figure out how to best use the available tools.

Active relocations:
- South of TN91
- Second leg of Turkeypen Gap - by SAWS
- Backbone Rock Trail (blue blaze)
