I plan on hiking the week before Trail Days from Atkins to Damascus. We would end up in Damascus on the Friday of Trail Days weekend. We are fine with and somewhat looking forward to Trail Days, but are concerned that our hike from Atkins to Damascus will be a lot busier than normal. Is the trail north of Damascus significantly busier around trail days or do most people drive or shuttle in to Damascus? Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

A couple of years ago me and 3 other guys were hiking toward Damascus from the north on the AT and it wasn't bad at all, until Trail Days ended. Then it was "hey there, ho there, hi there" for a couple of days! We got stampeded! :eek:
