Grandma Gatewood Hikes the Appalachian
Trail
by Jennifer Thermes
One day, at age 67, she decided to go for a nice long walk and
ended up completing the Appalachian Trail. With just the clothes
on her back and a pair of thin canvas sneakers on her feet,
Grandma Gatewood hiked up ridges and down ravines. She
braved angry storms and witnessed breathtaking sunrises.
When things got particularly tough, she relied on the kindness of strangers or sheer luck to get her through the night. A story of true
grit and girl power at any age, Grandma Gatewood proves that no
peak is insurmountable.
