Hi everyone,

Which one-week hike is more beautiful/remote/diverse:

  • Northern border of NJ (45mi north of the Delaware Water Gap) southbound (~80-90 miles), or
  • Pearisburg to Daleville

I will take my father in law for this trip, and these are the two options that are still in the game. It will
be the first time on the AT for both of us. The first option is much easier to reach (we are based in NJ).
Would the second one, in comparison, be worth the trip?

Background: I had asked for advice on this some time ago: http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?103153

All opinions welcome!

Cheers,
Sockfuss
