These are my 2 options.
The distance on the Appalachian Trail between
Rockfish Gap, VA and
VA55-Linden, VA
is 115.3 miles.
Average miles per day: 28.5
The distance on the Appalachian Trail between
US33-Swift Run Gap, VA and
VA55-Linden, VA
is 70.5 miles.
Average miles per day: 17.5
I have hiked numerous day hikes in SNP ranging from 12-20 miles in 6 hours or less. So I am confident I can handle the 70 miles in 4 days. I am wondering if I should push myself and do the longer full SNP. I would technically have a little spillover, and could do another 12 hours if needed, just not ideal. I could also get picked up at 211 or on Skyline somewhere if I did not make it the entire way.
Also I will be skin out under 15lbs and less as the days go by.
What does everyone think?
