I'm trying to take a 3 kids on an overnight trip this weekend - and I can't find a copy of the AT trail guide anywhere locally. Does anyone know the distance along the AT between the following points:
Gathland State Park (MD) to the Ed Garvey Shelter
Ed Garvey Shelter to Weverton Cliffs
Weverton Cliffs to the C&O Canal
ps: I think the Ed Garvey Shelter is the 2 story one with the big loft. If not, please use the two story shelter for the mileage above.
Also, our normal dayhiking speed with the kids is generally 2.5 mph along the South Mtn ridge north in the Gathland Arch, Washington Monument, Annapolis Rock area. So, I'm thinking 2 mph's with overnight packs would be a good estimate for planning appropriate distances. Anyone disagree ? Also, what mph should I use for the Weverton Cliffs to C&O section (how steep is it) ?
Thanks.
