I hike with a group that has done more than half the trail, but all between NJ and GA.
I understand that we can expect to complete fewer miles each day in NH and southern ME. Can anyone suggest a good place to do a week in or around NH that would include 5 people in late June?
If we go slow, that's not a problem, but at a minimum, we have to find a place to camp each night and find enough water each day. And I presume that would mean that each day would have some minimum distance we'd have to travel to reach an acceptable next campsite. We're flexible in terms of hammocks/tents.
We'd like to avoid booking the expensive hostels if possible.
Any tips or suggestions are welcome. And information on obstacles or challenges we'd face in NH that we would not have seen in 1000+ miles below NY, that would be helpful too.
One other things, we have a trip coming up late June. But we may wind up not going to NH then. Can anyone suggest the range of months that are good for hiking in NH.
