Hi.
I am going to be hiking a 2-3 week section of the AT this summer in late July or early August.
I am located in Washington, DC and I was immediately drawn to the section in Southern Virginia/Tennessee/North Carolina (I hear this is one of the most beautiful sections of the trail).
However, considering that I will be hiking in July/August I was concerned about heat and bugs. Will I be quite uncomfortable if I hike this section in July/August? Would it be better for me to travel (via bus/train) further North and hike in Vermont/New Hampshire?
thanks,
Aaron
