I can think of only a few items I appreciated on my section hikes that you have not listed. Rope (50 ft) for when there is not bear pole or box. And my toes suffered most on my feet so I used gauze...

Thanks UltraJoey. Very helpful!

Planning a hike from Front Royal to PenMar Park in the next few days. Curious about the status of the water sources in the area.
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks

So I'm planning a section hike from Front Royal to Pen-Mar Park. My only remaining question is one I ought to be able to figure out but I thought it easier to just come to the source of all good...

One factor that I underestimated on my first section hike from Amicalola was the number and extent of the elevation change. One mile in the mountains of North Georgia is not like a mile in West...

Harpers Ferry Front Royal area: Mark "Strings" Cusic is your shuttle. Great guy. Knows the trail. Parking at 4H camp near Front Royal is free and right on the trail

While not the greatest voice of experienced having accomplished only three section hikes to date (10 days+/- each) I like the system I use. Obviously toothbrush and paste, hand sanitizer, and Gold...

For what it's worth, the Roller Coaster kicked my butt in late June as part of a section hike from Front Royal to Harper's Ferry. Mainly because it was so wet I could never dry my socks, boots, or...

I have wanted to thru hike since I was 16 years old. Now, 43 years later, I am in no better position work-, family-, financial- or otherwise to do such a thing. But I did my first section hike in...

Do you mean at Vogel State Park?

Does anyone know if there is overnight (6-7 days) at Neel's Gap/Mountain Crossings? Looking to renew my section hike at the hostel and don't want to shuttle any more than necessary or waste any more...

OK so I'm more confused now than before reading this thread. I am section hiking the AT in sequence NOBO over a period of years. My plan is for one such section to be just the Smokies. I will be...

This will be my first attempt at a hike of this length since I was a much younger man. I've only been able to do dry runs of 2 or 3 days at the most. So it's not so much that I "want" a zero as...

I get that and that has been the debate rolling around in my head for months. But I want to make it to the NOC in 13 days with one Zero and one Nero. Not sure I could pull that off if I do the...

Section hiking solo NOBO in May and have decided (I think) to skip the approach trail. Can I assume that for a reasonable fee someone will drive to the to the parking lot at Springer? If not, I...

I should add I was not planning any trips to town except possibly Hiawassee. I was wondering more about places like Mountain Crossings or Top of Georgia.

I plan to section hike the entire AT in order NOBO over the next 6-7 years beginning in mid-May. I intend to eat principally dehydrated foods such as MRE's or ramen or noodle/rice sides but don''t...
