Cheating on your wife or girlfriend, especially if in the process of cheating, you disappear for a few days and say you are going someplace where it is impossible to be reached. Can also be used on a woman to say that she's cheating.
Same meaning as the other two entries here at UrbanDictionary.com: "Hiking in Appalachia" and "Hiking in the Appalachian Mountains", except that that "hikin' the Appalachian Trial" sounds better.
guy 1: "Where's Dave? I thought he he was going to play golf with us today."
guy 2: "He told his wife he had to work the weekend, but I think he's hikin' the appalachian trail. He was flirting all week with that new chick in accounting"
-or-
guy 1: "Where has your girlfriend been lately?"
guy 2: "I dumped her ass! Caught her hikin' the appalachian trail, and that was it for that slut!"

"Hitting the Appalachian Trail" is a phrase that can be used to describe a politician having an affair. Much like, "Sorry, honey, I was working late at the office." This phrase may achieve the popularity of other politico lingo, such as using the suffix "-gate" when discussing a political scandal.
"Despite the fact that former President Clinton hit the Appalachian Trail a few times during his presidency, many still remember him as a successful president."
"Many Democratic lawmakers are disappointed that numerous Republicans have been caught hitting the Appalachian trail in the past few years, yet still insist upon being the party of morality and conservatism."
