About how many days does it take?
Travel Tips
I didn't walk the entire trail. My experience on a fairly easy portion of the trail through Maryland and Pennsylvania covered 51 miles in 3 days, walking 9 hours per day (17 miles/day average). But some portions, particuarly in the southern and northernmost states of Maine and Georgia, are particularly difficult and mountainous and you might get in only five or six miles in a day.
So if I had to venture a guess, over the entire trail someone like me might average 12 miles/day, and could cover the entire 2,174 miles in 181 days, or six months. |
