I have looks everywhere and can not find it. It was a site someone created that you could put in start and stop locations, how many miles a day/ your pace and it would spit out the data. It aslo came with a handy profile map of that section you could convert to PDF.

It doesn't look like either of these are what you are looking for but they come close.

not really a custom planning tool as much as a customized trip elevation chart. if not helpful to you, perhaps others. found this little gem several months ago, unfortunately towards the end of most of my AT section hikes...

Looks exactly like the information you get in the guidebooks but without the detail. Postholer's planner would be much more useful.
