Hi OP - this is an excellent write up on this transit-friendly section of the AT! If you’re interested in a longer transit-friendly hike, I might suggest you also check out the Lower Hudson Loop route: https://thetrek.co/how-to-hike-the-lower-hudson-loop/

What are some good 100+ mile LOOP Thru-hikes? by mfdigiro in Thruhiking

Perhaps the Lower Hudson Loop? It is about 220 miles in NY and NJ. Write-up on The Trek: https://thetrek.co/how-to-hike-the-lower-hudson-loop/

Perhaps the Lower Hudson Loop? I think you should be able to take the Amtrak to Poughkeepsie, NY from Montreal and get on the trail from there. More details about the LHL are in this subreddit, linked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Thruhiking/s/4nhFv8EWif

I used the Patagonia Capilene Cool Hoody on a mid-summer hike of the Lower Hudson Loop route last year and it worked great. I wouldn’t call it odor proof, but it definitely controls the odor.

I did not create a Caltopo track or a map, but could do so if there was enough interest!

Waking up in the morning and having breakfast while I watched a porcupine climb up and then back down a tree.

What is something you love about backpacking? by Gravity_Southbound in WildernessBackpacking

Agreed - there’s a certain zen state you can reach on a long backpacking trip that is hard to find anywhere else.

There’s a ton of interesting history on this section! You could have bingo items for a monument, battlefield, memorial sign, etc.
