Hey all. I am looking at doing about 70 mile section hike. I was hoping I could be directed to the part of the trail with the least trees and brush. Every section hike Ive done is beautiful, however 'Im looking for a bit of different type scenery. I see a lot of pictures here and some people are hiking on such beautiful open fields and rolling hills. I think it would be cool to camp and hike in the wide open for a change.
From my research its looking like perhaps the best sections for this will include max patch or grayson highlands. But collectively which section of the AT has the least forest. I did read a few strong recommendations for Mount Rogers HQ to VA 16. However somewhere I read only about 2-3 miles of the AT is in Grayson highlands, is this true?Which has more open walking and less forest brush. Or you could recommend another section altogether. THANKS!
