Hey everyone. I was wondering how the LT compares difficulty wise to the AT. I’m planning to hike the LT end of August/early September and need to book my plane ticket, but I have no idea what my mileage will be. I’m trying to finish just in time for a wedding in Vermont, which is why I’m hoping to plan this thing just right. So anyhoo, if any of you have hiked both, is the terrain pretty similar? The northern part of the LT is super gnarly right? - How much does that slow you down miles-wise?
And does anyone know of the best way to get to the Southern trailhead from Burlington and from the Northern end back to Burlington? Thanks so much,
As always, a clueless hiker,
