@gwanderings watch a few of my videos from late January and February and it might convince you to do a flip.We had Temps a few times in the single digits and entering north carolina to a blizzard with 6 inches of snow and 2 foot snow drifts.Bring some spikes of some kind for your shoes the trail was like a hockey rink in some places after a hard rain and then a freeze.
Thanks for the tips. I do plan on bringing micro-spikes and extra insulation for potential winter weather conditions. There is always the potential for bad weather to force me off of the trail, but I think that I'm ready for that if necessary.
Remember when the going feels tough that it's just walking. Then tell yourself that until you believe it. I figure that anyone can do it if they really want it, it worked for me.
I’ll be on AT 2025 as well
Well wishes 🥾
Looking foreward to following your trip.
Can't wait to watch your hike! You can do this!

Good luck on the hike. I recognize your thumbnail picture. I've stood on Dead Horse pass. Highline Trail has been one of my favorite.
Thanks. This scene has always been my favorite on the Highline Trail.
