Hey yall! Im gonna be attempting my thru this year 13'. I'm a fairly young adult and can hardly contain the excitement in these last few months before I leave. I know it's gonna be a blast and I don't wanna miss out on the great stuff that's out there. Please share with me your knowledge, the places you have found, and the things that are not worth missing along the trail during a thru.
What are the best towns to check out?
Best bars, clubs, and venues to go to?
What music or art festivals are going on that a thru hiker can catch?
Museums, stores, landmarks, attractions????
Please share!
P.S. I do actually plan on hiking 99% of the time.
