Section Hike part II

[mevet]

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?

There are limited tent sites at each of the shelters. I doubt it will be very busy, you might be alone most nights during the week. This section will probably be a lot harder on you then the dog. The only real question is what will be weather be like. If it's nice it will be a good hike, if the weather is bad, it will be hell.
