Appalachian Trail Hike by CT Resident is Topic of Danbury Library Program

The Danbury Library invites all hikers and nature lovers to a special program, “A Six-Month Journey: Hiking the Appalachian Trail” on Saturday, April 28 from 10:30 to noon. 

Connecticut resident Sam Ducharme set out on a 2180 mile, 14 state backpacking trip from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mt. Katahdin Maine. During his six-month journey he documented the rugged beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, the wildlife, the hardships encountered on the trail, as well as the people, culture and humanity at its finest. Come join him as he takes you through the trail towns, over the mountaintops and through the backcountry. The images and stories will leave you with a renewed awe of the beauty of our country and its people.

Sam is a retired K9 Officer and is a lifelong resident of Connecticut.  As an avid outdoorsman, and finding himself an empty-nester, Sam decided to buy a backpack and a plane ticket to Georgia. From there, he started walking north.
