Hi everyone! I am planning my first official thru hike! I've been wanting to thru hike the A.T., but it's unrealistic because I have 3 young children. My hubby have me his blessing to take time to thru hike the CT. I was already approved a 6 week leave of absence for work, but I'm hoping to finish in 4-5 weeks. I've done a lot of long section hikes on the A.T. I chose the CT because I have family and friends in the Denver area that can support me and meet me to hike portions with me.
I would love to connect with others that have completed a thru hike of the CT. How long did it take you? When did you start? Is the trail marked well? How crowded or uncrowded is the trail?
Thanks in advance! I plan to do this in 2017
