I plan to begin a LASH starting at Delaware Water Gap heading north in mid May. From what I have read, I should expect to run into the black fly season.

I’ve picked up a lightweight UPF 50+...

Thank you!

After a number of years section hiking north from Springer mountain, while also working, I’ve made it as far north as Culvers gap, N.J. I now have the opportunity to make the remainder of the trail...

Sorry for the belated response. I made it to Culvers Gap (NJ) on that trip. I hope to pick up from there later this spring and complete another 300 - 400 miles.

Thanks all for the insight and guidance.

I have hiked the trail from Springer to Delaware Water Gap.
Just wrapped up PA and will be heading into NJ. It is what it is but just wondering if the trail in NJ is as rocky as the trail in PA?

Another quick question as I plan my trip. Are there any issues with taking a backpack on the the Metro-North Railroad? I looked at the MTA website and didn't see any restrictions listed.

Thanks all! Very much appreciate the updates.

I’ve been looking at the AT Closures information for PA, NJ and NY on the AT Conservancy web site. From what I read, it appears to me the shelters and privy’s are not to be used and public...

Thanks all for the info and suggestions.

Planning a section from Pearisburg VA to Harpers Ferry WV during the month of September.

Laurie P provided a wealth of information above. Thank you. I'm planning a section hike from Pearisburg VA to Harpers Ferry in September. Any suggestions where someone could park a vehicle in...

NE Florida here. I and several of my friends usually go backpacking on the AT a couple of times a year. We are section hiking our way north.

Hi,

Several friends of mine and I will be starting a north bound section hike starting at 19E (near Elk Park NC). More than likely, because of the distance we have to travel, we will get there...

The little yellow dots on the maps usually found on the trail line itself typically appear to be accompanied by one or more larger icons nearby but off to the side. I believe the little yellow dots...

Hi All,

I'm working on a long weekend hike along the FT near the Suwanee. I've seen indications elsewhere of a trailhead at Mill Creek - see...

I sent you a message with the equipment list I use when packing to hit the trail. In general, you want the lightest (in weight) equipment you can afford. Also, you will want to make sure you are...

Hi. I'm from Jacksonville also. Several friends of mine and I go hiking on the AT several times a year - usually for long weekends but sometimes for a week. In fact, we are going up this Thursday...

My friends and I hiked the Conasauga River trail a couple of weekends back. It was a great trip. We did it as an out and back. The trail was easy to follow for the most part and it stayed close to...

Thank you gentlemen for the suggestions. I suspect I will give both trails a hike. C2

Last year, my friends and I hiked along a nice section of the Jacks River Trail in August for a couple of days. It was nice because there was plenty of water, great places to stop and swim and cool...

REI Quarterdome T2 has worked well for me.
