Greetings to all...
I am tring to choose a section of the southern part of the trail. From reading assorted trail diaries, etc. I have acquired some impressions which may or may not be accurate:
1) The Nantahalas: I have the idea that this section is quite steep, mostly green tunnel, few open spaces.
2) Hot Springs to Damascus: This area also seems to be steep, but because of the balds, Roan Mt., there are more open spaces here...
3) Southern Virginia: This area has a gentler trail, with some open spaces here and there. However, because it is lower, it probably also has more ticks.
Could anyone please correct or refine these? I would like to choose a section that has some open spaces, at least some of the time...I get rather claustrophobic in areas that are basically mile after mile of trees and non stop green tunnel....Any advice or suggestions much appreciated.....
Many thanks,
