Hey everyone looking for some tips on what section to do. I did Springer to Erwin, Tennesee in June of 2013. Looking to do another 300 miles or so from middle of June to middle of July this summer. I'm somewhat inclined to pick up where I left off but I am bringing along a buddy this time and want to make sure we hike a great section so he gets the most out of his experience. We are both males in our early 20's and in good shape.
Would I be missing much if I skipped Erwin to Damascus? How is the hiking in early Virginia? Should I skip further ahead and do the Shenandoah's instead? Any advice appreciated! Happy hiking.
