Perfect for families who love the outdoors and anyone curious about the Appalachian Trail.
On Saturday, September 5th, FIND Outdoors and the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club (GATC) are partnering to host Appalachian Trail Day!
“A.T. Day is a fun, family event oriented around educating visitors on the Appalachian Trail, the trail’s history and development, how the trail is maintained today, and what a hiker may experience when walking the A.T. The goal of the event is to not only introduce the A.T., but also give participants knowledge on the natural world and encourage them to be stewards of the great outdoors.”
