Any single trail transversing a mountain chain is bound to miss some great places. There have been many times that I have been on a hike and said to myself "wow, I wish the AT went through here!!"

Where would you put the AT? Complete disregard for logistics and the need for a linear trail is a must .

My top three:

Grandfather Mountain in NC, the ladders are a fright!

Allegheny National Forest, PA...the 'mountains' of my childhood.

Acadia NP, of course!!!!
