Event Name: Volksmarches from the Miners Delight Bed & Breakfast
Event Date: The seasonal walks will be available between May 28 and September 30, 2008. Event Location:Miners Delight Bed & Breakfast Contact Information:http://www.minersdelightinn.com/
Let mountain air brush your cheeks and comb your hair as you stroll past historic gold mines. In the spirit of European noncompetitive hikes through gorgeous country settings, the American Volkssport Association has sanctioned Miner’s Delight Inn Bed & Breakfast owners Barbara and Bob Townsend to add two Volksmarches to the state’s list of 2008 events.
Volkswanderung, German for “people’s walk,” began more than four decades ago to promote health and fellowship. The walks are not races, and they are designed to accommodate walkers of all athletic abilities.
The two Atlantic City events offer walkers two routes along gravel roads maintained by Fremont County and Bureau of Land Management crews. The 15-kilometer (9.3 mile) walk travels west out of town. Walkers pass the Carissa gold mine, go into South Pass City, and return to Atlantic City via Pick Axe Road, where they come within a nugget’s throw of the Duncan and Mary Ellen gold mines. A shorter, 7 kilometer (4.3 mile) option loops back to Atlantic City via Pick Axe Road without going to South Pass City.
The second walk leaves Atlantic City’s north boundary, turns east onto Fort Stambaugh Loop Road, passes Miners Delight mine / Hamilton City, and returns to Miner’s Delight Inn B&B through Beer Garden Gulch. The 20 kilometer (12.4 mile) walk offers spectacular views of undulating hills east through south and the Rocky Mountains’ Wind River Range to the west.
Barbara and Bob offer a $20 discount to B&B guests who stay three nights if they complete the inn’s two events and the Volksmarches at South Pass City State Historic Site and Sinks Canyon State Park. Walkers should wear good shoes and a hat, carry water and snacks, and consider the near-8,000-foot elevations as they stroll in the Wind River Country’s high-altitude beauty.
