PARTRIDGE, KY – APRIL 18: Surface mining operations are seen beneath low lying clouds in the Appalachian Mountains on April 18, 2012 in Partridge, Kentucky. Some types of surface mining on montains are known as “mountaintop removal mining” which has destroyed 500 mountain peaks and at least 1,200 miles of streams while leading to increased flooding. The Appalachians are some of the oldest mountains on Earth. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Devils Backbone, a Virginia brewery, is searching for their next "Chief Hiking Officer," and the job description includes hiking the trail, documenting your journey and throwing a few parties and bashes while you're on the trail. In turn, you'll get hiking gear and $20,000.
While much of the Appalachian Trail is currently closed, hopefully next year will bring new opportunities to hike it.
