    Default Can,t make up my mind

    I am planning on small section hike soon. My choices are Neels Gap to Springer and yes i do want to walk it south. Or NOC TO Fontana dam. Both are about the same miles give or take a little and both are good sections. One will probably have a lot of beginning thru hikers the other not sure if i will see anyone during the week days i plan hiking.

    I'd vote for Neels to Springer as well because there are lots of places to camp and hanging out with the thru hikers could be fun. If you said your other choice was Winding Stair to NOC maybe it'd be a different story.

    what about starting back up at rock gap and looping back to your car via the Kimsey Creek Trail? That's a really nice section of the AT!
