Well I know of the smokies, but is there another section I don't know of?

I'm pretty sure Shenandoah NP in Virginia and Baxter State Park in Maine don't allow dogs.

Probably no approach trail. IMHO trail's long enough as it is, no need to add on a few miles .

Over 200 hikers planning a long distance hike this year! Check out the spreadsheet here. There should be at least 4 hikers hiking today...

Don't forget to also register with ATC and check out their graphs of start dates.

Let me know if I have made any errors or if you have made changes!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

See you on the trail,

I don't have a specific start date, but probably 18th or 19th.
Not sure about the approach trail yet. Like someone else said, the trail is long enough already, why add more miles?

Can someone explain the approach trail a little better? I'm a bit confused as I've only read about the hike and not actually seen the maps yet. Also I'm not on the graph yet for the class of 17'. I'll be leaving the 27th of March.

Are you sure you're ready? Not even having looked at a map with less than 2 months to go sounds like you may need some planning skills.
