Tried searching for this, and did not find specific links...
I'm doing a thru hike this year, and my wife wants to meet up with me for a zero day, every month or so. Why she would want to meet up with a grubby hiker, I don't know, but a nice distraction!
Has anyone published a list of best/friendly/convenient towns along the AT? As an example, I am meeting with the wife, kids, and grandkids, who surprised me by taking their Easter vacation in Ashville.
There are some obvious choices of big towns along the way, such as Roanoke, Damascus, Harpers Ferry, etc, but I'm looking for some favorites that may have some local sightseeing off trail. Thanks!
