Hi,
Me and my girlfriend have planned to trek 1 or 2 sections of AT from 20 may to 6 june..
In this period we think to arrive at NY and leave USA from Washington DC..
We have think to walk in two sections of 4-5 days (2 x 50-60 miles); we have read your forum and chose the Shenandoah National Park and Delaware Gap Water.. The first is "near" at Washington and the other one at NY..
But we would to know if this is a good choose!! It's not easy from Italy understand what part of AT it's better.. We don't know when we'll come to walk again in AT and so we would spend your holiday not in the wrong place :-)
And we ask you where can start the trek and where we can go out by bus or train.. Maybe if someones know where there are shops (in the choosed section) to buy foods or we have to buy all food for 5 days at the start ?
If you think it's better you can propose an unique section of 8-10 days...
Thank you in advance for your help!!
