I'm planning an April 13 hike starting from Springer. How many other people can I expect to see starting then?

That is a Fri, so it will likely be busy, but not a few hundred . . . it will start to slow down after the 1st week or so of Apr.
See you on the trail,

That is my birthday! I want to be hiking then. Like to meet up my problem is i am unprepared my mom died and have to settle stuff until the first! i want to be hiking the trail as long as i can. Anyone want to join a newbie, lol..
Sweet! thanks for the posts all. I'm going alone so I was hoping to find a few folks to talk to.... or at least someone who will tell me when I'm starting to talk to myself.
Squid-Your posts were awesome. thanks for sharing! No worries, I'm an experienced hiker with a 30 lb pack and plenty of time in the mountains. I'm planning on skipping the approach so that I can get to Damascus by Trail Days.
