Not sure what that means exactly.
Question is will they recognize a 2021 thru-hike I suppose.

What happens if they don't? Thrubies don't strike me as the type to care if the ATC recognizes them or not. Judging by the shelter logs from the summer they didn't give a **** last year and judging by the graffiti, many of them embraced being "outlaws."
Yeah, this makes sense. You can get on a plane, train, car, bus, boat, bike and travel anywhere you want in the country. But, hiking in the woods is not recommended.
Don't forget, they don't stay in the woods. They go into local cities and towns to resupply and rest.Yeah, this makes sense. You can get on a plane, train, car, bus, boat, bike and travel anywhere you want in the country. But, hiking in the woods is not recommended.
It's not the walking-in-the-woods part, it's the sleeping in the shelters and gathering at the popular rest/gear/social spots that they are concerned with. I am far less concerned with cycling solo than hiking solo as there is far more room (on the road) to avoid even brief contact with other users than on a narrow trail through dense forest.

If I ever walk 2200 miles you better believe I'll expect a "Plaque Suitable for Framing."![]()
