Grandma Gatewood Inspires

We’re looking for a few good women! We know Grandma Gatewood was an inspiration to many. If you’re a woman who was inspired by Emma to do a thru-hike, section hike or flip/flop AT hike, we’re looking for you! We’re inspired to share your story. We’d like to put together a Women-Walkers Walk of Fame. Send us your picture on the trail, your hiking dates and a couple of sentences about how Grandma Gatewood inspired you or what your hike meant to you. We’ll be posting them here, on our website and using them in our presentations. Just send us a message with your picture and your name/dates/story. We’ll do the rest. Read their stories at http://edenvalleyenterprises.org/…/womenhi…/walkoffamers.htm and be INSPIRED!

Our first Woman Hiker on our Walk of Fame is Jennifer Pharr Davis who wrote:

“Grandma Gatewood is grit personified. I love her determination, admire her resilience, and I will always enjoy following in her footsteps on the Appalachian trail.
