I am looking to hear suggestions regarding a planned week long hike this coming Spring around Pennsylvania. I am wondering where along the trail might be a good place to do this. I average about 8-14 miles per day depending on the steepness, rock content, etc of the trial. Specifically, I'm looking to travel through the less populated regions of the trail and have considered the area around "St. Anthony's Wilderness." Other considerations important to me is the difficulty involved in the section of the trail; I would prefer more difficult sections if possible. Also, I do intentions to bring along a dog; every section of the trail I have been on thus far does not have an issue with dogs, but I know it can be a consideration with regard to certain shelter areas and other people on the trail. While I am on the subject of shelters, I do not intend to use them given that I prefer the privacy of my tent. That being said it is not a large consideration of whether or not there are shelters within a given day's hike. I believe I have considered many of the relevant issues, but if I have forgotten one please let me know and I will do my best to answer it. Thank you
