I'm sorry for the proliferation of posts. I want to make a legit thru-hike work with possible great employment opportunities.
Question is the topic title. Mid August in Maine, if finishing late December, would the SMokies be too dangerous?
My concern isn't miles. I've done trail work in Maine, Arizona, Colorado and Alaska for the last three years. My concern is weather, in the Smokies mostly. After all, it's the thing that's keeping me from just starting NOBO after New Years, after all.
Thank you.
