Outreach at Waynesboro Hiker Fest 2026 (06 Jun 2026)

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

For the third year in a row, ODATC will be represented at the Waynesboro Hiker Fest on Saturday, June 6th. This event coincides with the largest group of AT thru-hikers passing through our trail section, and is a lot of fun. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the Charlottesville/Southern Shenandoah Valley Chapters of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club will also be there.

Our outreach in the Waynesboro and Wintergreen areas has helped us meet local people who have become members, giving us great help with advance information on trail conditions and responding quickly to do things such as post trail signs about changing trail conditions.

We will need several volunteers to staff a table at this event, and it would be great to have someone with (or who can loan) a cart or hand truck to move our display materials.

If you just happen to be in the mountains that day, or live in the area, please stop by. More information on the Fest is at https://www.visitwaynesboro.com/hiker-fest-2026-waynesboro-va/

Please contact Pat Doyle to volunteer at Patrickjd9@gmail.com.

Maine AT Section Hike - Northern Terminus (31 Jul 2026)

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This is a 61.2-mile A.T. section hike starting in the middle of the 100-mile wilderness in Maine and ending at majestic Mount Katahdin over eleven days from 7/31 to 8/9. We'll drive up on 7/31 with one night on the road and start hiking at Jo Mary Road on 8/1. After hiking up to Katahdin and back, we’ll spend the night in Millinocket and take two days to drive back to Richmond. This is a beautiful, but rugged and remote hike.
