I'd like to section hike from Hanover, NH to Glencliff in the second week of October. I'm about 1-2mile/hr hiker, planning on 5-6 days. However, I'd like to hike this trip with my 35 pound dog. Is this feasible or advisable or possible? I know that dogs aren't welcome in the shelters, but tenting is possible? How busy is the AT here this time of year?
