Hi,
Coming from the UK I don't have a great deal of background knowledge about US beyond a deep fascination with the PCT and interest in the AZT.
I'm hoping to come to the US next year for a long distance hike and I'd like advice from the community on a hike that may most closely match my wishlist.
These are the things that I would be looking for the most:-
1. A hike of around 200 miles but this does not need to be the whole length of a trail.
2. Experience desert type landscapes, as we don't have anything like this in the UK.
3. Way marked. I'm an experienced navigator but I don't like to work too hard on that on a long hike.4. Water. I'm concerned about water after reading a couple of books on the AZT.
5. Resupply, I'm not keen on the idea of hitching into towns so resupply on or near trail would be good.
Any suggestions on trails or times of year you think may be suitable. Perhaps a southbound section of the PCT later in the autumn for example.
Thanks Alan.
