This 11.5 mile hike is all on the AT. It is the route countless thru hikers approach Damascus on. Damascus is one of the most celebrated Trail Towns on the AT and is a great re-supply place. The AT goes through town on its main street, Laurel Ave.
The only views we had today were a few glimpses of Damascus as we approached town. Otherwise it was a almost all day downhill along a ridge. This may have been the easiest 11 miles I have ever hiked. We saw lots of Black Cohosh (below) and Mountain Mint or Basil Balm.
