    I wouldnt start a thru hike anyother way. A very special memory of mine was walking away from the roar of the falls toward the quiet woods, saying bye to dad, and thinking of springer. Theres only two ends to the AT and I like making both special. Not that other ways are not special, but hiking to the top just gives you those feelings that driving up then hiking SB dont. BTW I have done the approach trail 3 times now (only once was thru hike) and its not that hard. Just dont do the steps with fully loaded pack. Start that **** with a bang!

    The approach trail is a must!! Why? Because then you can officially tell everyone else that it sucks! hahaha It was quite amusing though for me.. and on the bright side you get to officially register at the station there. I had a firm policy of no backtracking on the trail and i wanted to go literally from one end to the other.. so it worked out for me.
