Across the Roof of America: From Canada to Mexico Along the Continental Divide
The Continental Divide follows the Rocky Mountains for more than 2,700 miles in the United States and is a part of the National Scenic Trails System. A complete traverse of it demands using maps and compass during cross-country travel, fording glacier melt-swollen streams, ascending 13,000-foot passes, crossing deserts in 100-degree heat, and crashing through thigh-high snow drifts. As Coordinator of the Across the Roof of America Expedition, award-winning local author and renowned hiker Leonard Atkins will share stories and photos as he walked the Continental Divide for six months from Canada to Mexico. The presentation will be from 7:30-8:30 p.m. in the Henrico County Administration Board Room at 4301 E. Parham Road. Free!
