Hello,
I'm going to be visiting a friend in Lancaster, PA this summer (mid-late June 2016) and am hoping to do a section of backpacking on the trail. I'd like to spend about five days to a week. I've never been on the AT, and am not sure how fast or slow I am as a hiker, but I'd consider myself to be in pretty decent shape. I'm basically wondering where a good place to start would be near the Lancaster area and where I could park my car? Or, would it be better to get dropped off? Maybe hike one way three days and then backtrack three days back to the car? Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
