If you don't have any guide book that calls out water and re-supply opportunities, allow me to recommend the "AWOL Guide". I'd argue it's the best $20 you can spend if you're new to AT hiking. Also if you have a smartphone, you don't want to be without Guthook/FarOut. Source: 12 months ago
The good resource is Far Out Guides. Are you planning to self-shuttle or hire someone to drive you? It's best to meet your shuttle driver where you plan to finish and have them drive you to the start. That way you finish at your car. Source: over 1 year ago

Looks very nice! Do you know https://faroutguides.com/ (formerly GutHook)? They have offline-friendly paid maps of a lot of the largest scenic trails in America. I hiked the Appalachian Trail last year and FarOut was standard kit. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Campgrounds in National Forest sites, which you generally book through recreation.gov, are not going to have anything like that. Source: 6 months ago
Hi there, heading to Rocky Mountain NP & Arches in a few weeks and both have only a few slots left that are later in the day. I want to book those as a last resort, but also want to try my hand to get a better time the night before. Is this possible to do on one recreation.gov account (I'm traveling alone)? Or, because of the 1 reservation max, do they not allow you to try a separate purchase process? I obviously... Source: 8 months ago
The friend I'm going with is a teacher and her school year ends early June, thus the plan for mid-June. Curious about temps and what to expect. Also, I know this is the first year they're doing permits through recreation.gov, so I'm not expecting solid answers on this, but any guesses as to how difficult it'll be to get permits? We're planning on entering the lottery (Jan 16 is the start date for the June lottery... Source: 8 months ago
