Thoughts on best months to start a NOBO thruhike?
Observations after following many vlogs and journals:
January - Most don't seem to last long
February - Smokys can be problematic
March - Crowded
April - Time crunch to get to Katahdin without flip-flopping
Contemplating a 2024 Thru-hike at age 62, Not fast but still strong
500 miles of section hikes under my belt since 2011, always in June, July, or August as I was a teacher
Thanks for your suggestions. Grateful to join your community.
