r/AppalachianTrail

For context, i’m a weekend backpacker. The longest I’ve done has been 1 week. I’ll be doing a one month section in two weeks from now.

This is probably the only time I will do a long section on the AT. I don’t really care about thru hiking or completing all sections. I might do two weeks sections in the future, but nothing longer. So I’m open to starting anywhere on the trail!

Any thoughts? thanks.

Does anyone know the altitude change for the climb out of Lehigh Gap? Going northbound, obviously.

Also, how was that climb formed, the huge blocks of rock? I know the top is flat (and weird). Where did all the huge rocks come from? Guessing it was just a "normal" climb up before that change of scenery?

Thanks.

I tried a few hotels but no luck. I’m staying at the microtel
