Severely underestimated the Batona. Tried to do it in three days but only got one in with 15 miles. Went home the next morning. Have a newfound respect for thru-hikers and now I’m gonna train to challenge it again in the Fall.
My thoughts on those first 15 miles though? It is the quintessential NJ trail, complete with never being too far from a road. Not a very exciting trail either, but it does offer various styles of being surrounded by trees which is kind of cool, but there are very few memorable parts.
