[at-l] Good places to hike the AT for non-hikers

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

This is more specific than the heading indicates:

Suppose you are hiking the AT.  Either for long-sections or for the entire
trail.  Now suppose you have family or friends who want to meet you along
the way and to do some "hiking" with you but are not hikers or cannot hike
really difficult places.  Say the person has arthritis or there are small
children or they are dedicated couch potatoes.  But they really, really want
to hike some places with you.  And may well be willing to go the cost of a
B'n'B, inn, etc.


Which small sections do you suggest?

You can include loops where they meet and then someone drives to the nearest
town.  Like the bald right before Hot Springs and then on down into Hot
Springs.  The folks might be tired, but they can feel good about hiking with
you.
