Slow Hikes
There are two informal 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-hikers
for 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. Contact
