This is the best video I have seen showing how hard the “hardest mile on the A.T.” really is!
IMO it is the hardest mile, but I hit it just right weather wise and attitude wise and had an absolute ball (even if, at one point, I did end up in a precarious and dangerous situation by loosing the blazes).
I should say, however, the day before they had to rescue a hiker who broke their ankle. Not fun for the hiker or the rescue crew trying to get them out….so be careful.
