    High Point SP/NJ 23 to Unionvillle, NY is only 9 miles. Easy to stay at a motel and do a day hike.

    The AT crosses Seven Lakes Drive twice and I'm not sure which one you mean. If it's the northern...

    I did the eastern VT section (plus western NH) at the end of September last year. Temperatures were ideal (highs 60s, lows 40s) and the trail was very quiet as nearly all the thru-hikers (NOBO and...

    Reason is simple - the road to Clingman's Dome is often still closed in April, so you'll probably have to continue to Newfound Gap anyway.

    What others said - if you've done the 800 miles south of Three Ridges, it ain't nothing special. A long climb that's steep in a few places. The view from Hanging Rock north of the summit is...

    Pretty sure that's false. The interactive map on the ATC website, which does include the recent Palisade Parkway reroute, still shows the trail going over Black Mountain to the south.

    Few pointers on that section:
    1) The trail from just south of the NJ/NY state line up to about Fingerboard Shelter is harder than it looks on the topo. Lots of steep trail and boulder scrambling....

    Sometimes road walks can be avoided. For example, the NC MST near where I live has a dangerous 4 mile road walk along highway 70 between Durham and Hillsborough. It made no sense to me as there is a...

    I highly recommend the Desert View CG on the eastern side of the park. It is tent only and much quieter than Bright Angel CG. Cost was $20/night back in 2011.

    In 1800 miles of section hiking, I've sent only one mail drop to the ATC headquarters in Harper's Ferry. While convenient, it's generally easier and more cost effective to resupply along the trail....

    After the barn is torn down, it will be 20 miles from Stan Murray shelter to Mountaineer shelter, which I believe will be the longest gap between shelters anywhere in the South.
