I've met plenty of hikers who do it in stages over years

I also gave a ride to three backpackers from Abol Campground to the Baxter State Park entrance last summer. They just completed the entire AT in a season and they smelled terrible.

I've only hiked the AT through NY, NJ and ME...backpacked for a week in the 80s.

I'll be training for a 2020 Grand Canyon backpacking trip this spring and fall.
