    I can't speak to this winter, but I have done that loop. Awesome trip! If you can, sleep at the summit of Carrigain.

    My wife and I completed the AT this past September after about 5 years. The ending was kind of anti-climatic atop Katahdin. The tough part now is figuring out what to do with vacation time!

    It took me and my wife 4 days. The first week in April when the waysides open is a great time to do this section. We only saw maybe 10 folks on the trail and no car traffic!
