What are the differences in the AT VS other long trails?
To narrow this down, we could focus on the West...More westward then the AT at least...Say the PCT and CDT since they are the most popular IMO. Below are some conversation pieces that may show the greatest differences from what a hiker will notice once migrating from an AT completion to another long trail.
Disclaimer up front "Its all walkin'" has now been covered in this thread and duly noted.
- Water
- Travel Logistics
- MPD
- Resupply
- Gear Choices
- Camaraderie
- Experience Level on Average of Hikers
- Weather
To those who have the knowledge, elaborate on the bullets above, and add to the list.
