Where along the AT are the major points that NB thru hikers get off the trail ? Here I am referring to those who abort their through hikes, not those leaving trail temporarily.
What comes to mind for me is Neel's gap (around 15%), New Found Gap (if very rainy in the Smokies), Harper's Ferry, and Duncacnon, PA and maybe Delaware Water Gap if the rocks of PA got to the hiker. Any others?
I realize people get off trail all along the AT. I am asking for the main areas.
