I am looking for some info on what sections are good to hike mid to late July? a friend and I were possibly going to start the AT at Springer at that time, but talking to some folks from the area I am a little concerned that the humidity will be an issue, we are both from Idaho, so heat isn't a problem, but humidity may be. Any other ideas as to sections that might be tolerable? looking at doing 2-3 weeks...We are kind of limited to the southern sections as my friend has a conference in Nashville that she has to be at when we end our hike. Any information would be great!!!

I am also thinking of doing a section about 2 months in mid July starting at Springer. I have done a section in Smokies in mid July before and it was very hot while hiking but great at pm and night. I was wondering how many other folks are on the trail there in GA in mid july. Don't want a crowd but would like to see others sometimes. So hope you do start at Springer.

Well Sunny Daze it looks like due to timing and location that we will be starting at Springer even if it is super hot! so there is a good chance that we just might see you :)
