Women & Thru-Hiking on the Appalachian Trail
During her 1995 hike, Beverly Hugo was selected to be featured  on a two-part outdoor series for the Public Broadcasting System called,  "Trailside: Make Your Own Adventure."  She also was written about inAppalachian Adventure,a hard-cover book compiled by reporters,  editors, and photographers from five eastern newspapers who took a  "tag-team" thru-hike that year.  Sadly, on a short hike in 2000, Beverly  fell, and a brain tumor was discovered.  She died the following spring but  had asked the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to keep her research and  findings alive.  Thousands have benefitted from her work since.
