Hiker Bubble Question

[PapaGarrettP]

I am returning to GA/NC April 7 - 13 for the fourth time in a year to do a 50 - 60 mile section hike (I got the bug!). I always sleep in a tent and cherish the solitude of a "wilderness experience."

Given the large number of thru hikers at that time of the year, would you recommend I:

-Hike a section of the AT (I am looking at the 54 miles from Blue Ridge Gap to Tellico Gap, SOBO), OR

-Do the "AT - Duncan Ridge - Benton-MacKaye loop" hike, OR

-Choose a stretch of the BMT in the GA/NC area?

As always, thanks!

The BMT will always have more solitude if that is what you seek! Must have some knowledge of map and compass. If you want the AT experience ,it would be a good time to hike there too! Just be prepared for the bubble with a lot of hikers.
