Raise the Roof at Bears Den – Celebrate and Support the A.T. Community!
Details
Join us Dec. 6 at Bears Den Trail Center Lodge to preserve a beloved Appalachian Trail landmark.
The Loudoun Appalachian Trail Association invites you to Raise the Roof at Bears Den, an afternoon of food, drinks, live music, and trail camaraderie—all to support renovations of the historic Bears Den Trail Center Lodge.
Built in 1933 of local stone and perched high above the Shenandoah Valley, the Bears Den lodge has long been a home-away-from-home for Appalachian Trail hikers. Just steps from the famed “Roller Coaster” section of the A.T., the lodge welcomes thousands of hikers and visitors each year.
All proceeds from the event go toward preserving the building and enhancing services for hikers and guests. This event will be held indoors in the lodge.
