Hello everyone. I am a 45 year old Canadian woman with mid level hiking experience. I would like to explore part of the AT and I will have about 8 - 10 days to complete the hike. I plan on going the first 2 weeks in July.
I prefer to be surrounded by forests, mountains and lakes. I don’t want to hike through towns, I really hope to be away from civilization and enjoy mother nature. I am planning on camping or brining a hammock with a canopy.
1. Given that I am coming from Ontario, most likely driving down, which trail would you recommend and why?
2. After I park my vehicle at point A, how do I get back there at the end of the hike?
3. Is fresh water readily availabe at various points along the trail?
4. Are there places to fish?
5. Is there any other helpful advice you would have for a single woman hiking?
Thank you in advance for your helpful recommendations
