Hi there,
I arrive in New York on the 18th of June to do the second half of the AT and just wondering a few things. Firstly, how busy will the trail be at this time? I am wanting to stay away from big crouds and unsure as to how busy the trail will be at this time of year? Also, I am wondering if it is possible to travel the AT purely by wild camping along the way. I would like the experience of fully embracing nature so going to try and stay away from towns as much as possible but just wondering how commonplace wild camping is? I have read in some places that there are areas where it is not allowed but how strict and enforced are these rules?
Any help on these matters would be much appreciated .
