My husband and I are looking to get on the AT for about a week starting this Sunday - we are kind of winging it since I have an unexpected vacation that came up with a job change.
We live in Central Massachusetts and are looking for a good section to hike that is no more than 5 hours from our home. For reference, it takes just under two hours to reach Mount Greylock in the Berkshires.
I'm imagine that for 5 days we'd be looking at about 60-70 miles or so.
Will it be too cold in the evenings to be in New England in May? We both have +25 sleeping bags.
