ITS TRAIL DAYS TIME!! This marks the end of our AT Nobo season but not without a BANG! Same as years past, weโ€™ll be in there only to help hikers with foot problems, reconnect with old friends, and help serve the community in any way we can. We will be set up in vendor row but not there to sell. We will have some shoe options for people with dire needs but weโ€™re not there to sell shoes. If youโ€™re there, come see us!

Moments like this are a reminder of how connected the trail community really is.
