I plan to do the section from Bear Mountain Bridge NY to Falls Village CT, about 80 miles, this year. I'm retired and have some flexibility about when I go. The bridge is about 1500 miles from Springer, so my guess, using April 1 and 12 miles/day, is that the heaviest hiker traffic is around mid-July. I had expected that someone smarter than I am had published something about the density as it moves along the trail, but I haven't been able to persuade Mr Google to give it up. Anybody know anything like that, or have more informed opinions than mine?
Thanks
RJ
