My brother and I are planning a section hike in June (1st choice) or August. We plan to fly into Asheville NC and shuttle up to Hot Springs to start our hike. We will then hike to Damascus, VA. We will then shuttle to Roanoke, VA to fly home.

Total trip miles about 200. We're still in the planning stages. Any tips, suggestions, experiences on the trail towns, shelters, hostels, etc., through this section would be appreciated!
