Greetings everyone,
I am mostly looking for suggestions on where to start our hike.My fiancé and I would like to do about 4 weeks of backpacking for our honeymoon. We have plans to meet her family at Deep Creek Lake, MD in late July and are considering finishing the hike there.
I've noticed the AT crosses with the C&O Canal at Harpers Ferry. From here we can hike to Cumberland and I'm hoping a little research will yield a trail to take us the last 30 miles west.
So the question is do we start in Pennsylvania and hike south to Harpers Ferry or start in Virginia and hike north? I'm looking for as much advice and as many opinions as possible on this question AND my plan as a whole.
Thanks for your time!
