Rotary Hosts Kim Selvage Talk On Hiking Appalachian Trail
ROTARY News:
“Hike your own hike,” advised guest speaker Kim Selvage as she spoke April 20 by Zoom from Florida to the members of the Rotary Club of Los Alamos.
Selvage, a former Los Alamos resident, business woman and Rotarian, traversed the Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2020. She entitled her presentation “Remain Fluid Because Flexible Is Too Rigid.”
The AT Trail is described as the oldest hiking trail in the United States and, at 2,190 miles, the longest hiking-only trail in the world. “Hiking its full length,” Selvage said, “is equivalent to summiting Mount Everest 16 times.” It extends through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
