Hey people!! This summer (June) my dad and I had planned to walk the AT from Amicalola Falls State Park to Blood Mtn. He had planed for us to walk these 28.3 miles, plus a 8.8 mile approach trail in 2 DAYS. This seems a bit crazy to me, that's 18.55 miles each day! So I took it upon myself to plan the trip. I have us walking an average of 12 miles a day, because we are not very experienced hikers. Does this seem like a good amount, assuming that we will only be on the trail for 3 days? I've heard that the terrain in Georgia is a lot of ups and downs, so I'm not sure exactly what to expect. Any advice for first time AT hikers? I've read some books like, "A Walk in the Woods," and "Walking with Spring" to get the general gist of things.
