I just started contemplating a hike south from Harper's Ferry to Springer and then north from Harper's Ferry to Katahdin.
I have a pretty fixed start date of the first week of March. I am coming from Latvia and tickets are already purchased as well as time off from life and family, so rescheduling is not an option.
Anyone know if it is possible to hike south from Harper's ferry as early as March 5th?
Will the trail conditions be to bad in March that far north? Maybe it will be to cold.
I am researching this but thought maybe someone here would already know.
my goal of course is to avoid the large crowds expected at Springer in early March.
any advice would be appreciated.
thank you
