Hi, everyone! Just a quick question for all out there--

I've been searching around for plans that recommend distances to travel day to day in order to ensure both a comfortable hike, but also a challenging hike. Because of my own nervousness, I know that I'd be happier if I knew that I could set myself some waypoints during the hike (I clearly know that all of this is going to change over the time when I am hiking, but it's the proverbial carrot that keeps goading me on). The A.T. Guide website has a really good one for around 18 miles/day which I like right now, as it averages the 18 miles per day by having the times change over the course of the hike.

Would you all say that the best places to look, other than these ones that are sort of made for the general public those that are in successful thru-hike trail journals? I'd love to be able to average around 22 miles a day, myself, just because I would really like to finish the trail by the beginning of July. Just wondering about the resources available to us!

Much appreciated!

C.
