Ok here's a good question for AT enthusiasts?
You only have 4-8 weeks at your disposal. You can backpack any section of the Appalachian Trail duing this time. What section of the trail would you do? Also..what time of year would you go?
let's assume you are onlygoing to plan on 10-15 miles of hiking per day with at least one day off per week (so Squeeky that leaves off you.. you'd probably do the entire trail in this time period!).
For me its a tough one.
I would love to do New England again (hey I am biased I admit) but I would also love to do the smokies again. If the smokies, I would go outside of thruhiker season. Probably September thru October and do Neels Gap to Hotsprings, NC.
If New England (Kent, CT thru end) mid July to mid September.
