Danny Bernstein's mission is to get people out of their cars and walking. She's been a committed hiker for over forty years, completing the Appalachian Trail, all the trails in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina's Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST), and many other hiking challenges. Danny hikes and leads hikes for the Carolina Mountain Club, Friends of the Smokies, and other outdoor groups. She's written two hiking guides, Hiking the Carolina Mountains and Hiking North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, and a narrative on her MST hike, The Mountains-to-Sea Trail across North Carolina. She blogs at www.hikertohiker.com. In her previous life, she worked in computer science for thirty-five years, long before computing was cool, first as a software developer, then as a professor of computer science. Her motto is "no place is too far to walk if you have the time." She plans to die with her boots on. See less
