About this ebook
Have you ever dreamt of stepping on the Appalachian Trail for a day, a week, or a season? The iconic trail has a clear voice that calls to many of us. With a burning need to put boots to rocks, but with his thru-hike still a couple of years away, the author decided to hike in and around Damascus, Virginia and then attend Trail Days 2017. The experience did not disappoint, and now you can share the journey.It doesn't matter where you step onto this iconic trail, or how many miles you roam before stepping off, something interesting is bound to happen in between. The entire 2,200 miles is a rollicking, rolling path with surprises around every bend, and from end to end.Garlits manages to connect the reader to the entire experience, not as an observer but an active participant, "hiking" alongside him, as he weaves the story of his experiences throughout the Trail Days 2017. His detailed descriptions are combined with anecdotes and interesting stories, that highlight his love for the experience. Whether you are an experienced hiker, or you are someone who is following along on your couch, this well-written non-fiction book is an enjoyable read.--Claudia Blanton, WithinthePagesofaBook
Come and hike the Appalachian Trail into the annual Trail Days festival in Damascus, Virginia. Greenlight is an excellent companion, and you'll be glad you came along.
