As the title says, how busy is it?
I'm aware that anything up to 50 people can start a day so I'm expecting crowds at hostels/shelters the first few weeks but does this thin out after that? I really want to do it with my partner hopefully 2019 maybe 2020 but wondering whether to do the CDT/PCT instead if it's crowded all the way along. Hostels fully booked up all the way along or shelter camp sites over flowing doesn't sound overly appealing. 10 or 15 people fine but 40+ each day every day is not. Just looking for a nice mix of peace and quiet some days and other days being social with people. I do understand that weekends and/or holidays like 4th July bring out the crowds more so.
