I'm a section hiker and I have completed Springer to Hanover, NH.
I typically hike at 2 MPH and do about 18 miles a day.
I have been told that my pace and mileage will be cut in half when I reach the Whites.
My question is where exactly I should expect to experience this dramatic drop in pace/mileage (going NOBO)?
In particular, I am considering doing Hut stays to lower my pack weight and I am wondering whether I should plan to stop and overnight at every other Hut, or whether I should plan to hit each Hut.
My next section will likely be Hanover to Gorham.
Thanks in advance, and if this has already been discussed before and there are threads setting out good hut to hut itineraries, please let me know.
