Look and you’ll see another tiny, quiet river town with a quaint historic district loaded with shops and locally owned businesses. Look closer and you’ll find layers of history hiding some real American heroes.
“The Appalachian Trail Girl’s Guide” was written to inspire more women to hike the Appalachian Trail, but it’s also a treasure trove of information about the trail and how to survive it.
