Have you ever wondered what it takes to thru hike the Appalachian Trail? Are you considering doing it yourself? Or maybe you’d like to take on this 2,200-mile-long trail in sections.
Join Breanna from the Mast Store Annex at the Cooper Pavilion at the Valle Crucis Community Park for an informative evening featuring the experiences and tips for the trail from Bruce, a past thru hiker.
Be sure to bring your questions – Bruce is ready to give you ideas on how to prepare before heading out on the trail, what you should bring and what you can leave at home, and what you can expect.
This is the first program in this year’s Take It Outside series. Mark you calendars for the next four Thursdays for tips to help you Take It Outside.
