The Hostel has been sold. Thanks for the memories friends!

Creeper Trail Hostel
ain't nothin' fancy

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 .

Creeper Trail 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.

Mountain Biking Information for the Damascus/Mt. Rogers Area - This is the famous Bikeguy.net web site. Like to ride? Then go here and find out where to go. One-stop surfing for mountain bike info from the guy who wrote the guide book.

LiteShoes.com - Like them rubber shoes everybody been wearing? Holey Soles, Crocs, Quark and loads of 'em too.
