How would a basic hiker hike such a trail. I’ve seen pictures of people, who claim to have hiked the Appalachian trail who don’t look like Grizzly Adams or have End of the world survival skills.
So, how Would somebody like myself hike this sort of trail/ I can do a day or two on my own, but probably not much more than that.
Well, I think if you started gradually going further on every trip, you could do it.
Haven’t seen details on this one, but the long trails typically have way stations where you pick up food, etc. that you or a helper has put there. I assume there are lockers that open with a code. These are off the trail itself where roads are nearby. My BiL does the 200+ Muir Trail that ends (or begins) at the summit of Mt Whitney.
Well one has to start.
Planning
Training
Talk to experience back packers.
Up until I ended up with heart problems at 64.
I went on trips like this once year to every couple of years.
They can be very rewarding.
I would suggest doing a couple of week long ones to get your gear and mind sorted.
300 miles would have taken be 20 to 30 days depending.
