“Slow Hikes

There are two informal Appalchian Trail group hikes leaving Springer
Mountain on March 9th and March 30th, 2003 (Sundays). These hikes,
which average just over 8 miles a day, will take 20 days to get to
Fontana Dam, and are meant to properly prepare/condition thru-hikersnbfor the rest of their journey. Section-hikers, vacation hikers, and weekenders are also welcome to hike along. The second hike will then continue past Fontana, picking up speed (about 11 miles a day), taking another 4 weeks to arrive at Damascus in time for Trail Days.
