Does anyone know about how long it would take to hike from the southern most point of the AT to Dragon’s Tooth (Roanoke Va)? Or from the northern most point to Dragon’s Tooth (Roanoke Va)?
See you on the trail,

Almost exactly two months at an average of eleven miles a day. Or some twenties and a few days off.

North from Springer taking a day off here and there and assuming that you’l get some high mileage days in and some foot slogging thru snow…if you leave in Feb. North to south was about 3 1/2 months to that point with a ton of twenties and fifteen days off.

March 9 - May 7 from Springer to Catawba, VA. that’s almost 2 months to the day. You could certainly do it quicker if you want…but that’s pretty average.
