Former AT Thru-Hiker here -- hi to anyone who recognizes me.
Unfortunately, life is only allowing me to spend August 6-23rd (would fly out the 5th, fly back the 24th) on the trail. Thinking I want to do the Washington section and hit up Mt. Rainier along the way. I've heard I should include the Goat Rocks in my route too. I also want to kick my ass and do big and difficult miles (need to get into shape, and I also find that strenuous, difficult hikes clear my mind --- and boy do I need my mind cleared these days). Any advice on where to start/end, and how to go to/from the trailheads (to the airport, or at least to Seattle)?
Thanks a million
