Ok, so some friends and I are planning a three day backpacking trip. I've heard that the Lehigh Gap to High Point section of the AT would be a good spot. I have a few questions though.
How long is this section?
About how many miles a day would it be?
Difficulty level: 1-10?
Where are the start and end points located?

I hope I can find answers to these questions. If you have any advice, suggestions, etc., please let me know.

I think you're over-reaching a little. Delaware Water Gap to High Point would be more realistic, and even then you'd need to move right along to do it in three days. It isn't hard walking except for the rocks, so wear appropriate footgear.

Ok, thanks Old Grouse. Do you know how long of a hike that would be distance wise?
