I am itching to hike in GA again. I have not AT hiked since fall of 16. Would love to do an early Spring hike but I am concerned about crowds on the AT that time of year. Now thinking an early Spring or Late Winter, Feb-March, 50-75 miles on the BMT. Anyone hike the southern sections this time of year? Cold weather and snow not really an issue for me, I go out West and way up North regularly and have gear for ice and snow and low temps. Are Snow shoes recommended for February/March? How about ice cleats? Any section starts and finishes or loops you would recommend? I was going to add to the previous thread about Best time to Hike the BMT, but since I don't know the answer to that questions thought I would start this one. Thanks in advance hikers!!
