Went North to South for 3 days, 2 nights in late March. I knew it was a tough hike but it was harder than expected. Overall loved the experience but wish there were more blazes, especially the first 10 miles or so from the North terminus. Saw some volunteers keeping the trail up - THANK YOU to everyone who works on the trail and for those that built the new shelters. The shelters were perfect! Great hike, tough but worth the experience. The views are spectacular.
