Adventure
Damascus Bike Shop/ Laughing Dog Shuttle and Rental Service - These guys
rent quality bikes and have nice clean air conditioned vans. The only
full-service bike shop on the Creeper Trail. It's the home of the Laughing
Dog (looks more like a goat to me). Visit their
web site to
learn more. Joe drives for them so we usually recommend them. (Don't bite
the hand that feeds ya.)
SunDog Outfitter
- Man, have they got the goods here! Sleeping bags, tents, backpacks,
clothing, all kinds of outdoor gear and a huge selection of other neat
stuff! This is the place for people who want gear. Buy it on-line too at
http://store.sundogoutfitter.com .

Cottages- Need something a bit more fancy? Then stay here. Cottages
right on the Creeper Trail and Laurel Creek in Damascus. Go visit their web
site Mr. Fancypants.
Mount Rogers National Recreation Area - US Forest Service web site for
our local area. About as exciting as a Govment web site gets.
Backbone Rock Recreation Area - Just 1/10 mile down the road from the
Creeper Trail Hostel. Good rock climbing, hiking, swimmin' hole and access to the
Appalachian Trail. Another one them Govment web sites. Shoot, the link is
broke. Oh well, look for yourself then.
