Lyric and her husband Scott are the owners of the Wonderland Hiker Refuge in Linden, Virginia (mile 980 for Northbound hikers). Their hostel is a donation-based hostel and they have been running it since 2016.
When you are hiking on the Appalachian Trail and it starts raining, it’s nice to know that somewhere up ahead there is a cozy shelter you can duck into. Luckily, there are more than 250 trailside shelters on the AT.
