Appalachian Long Distance
Hikers Association
The Appalachian Long Distance
Hikers Association began in 1983
as an off-trail family of fellow
hikers who've all shared similar
experiences, hopes and dreams
on the Appalachian Trail and
other trails. Membership in this
nonprofit group is open to all.
ALDHA logo Members get together each fall
for the Gathering, where folks
share their experiences through
workshops and slides. In 2010,
it will be at Concord University
in Athens, W.Va., Oct. 15-17.
