I have done 5 FOT48 hikes over the last 8 years, and would just add for new participants, if you have a peak you want to do, and it’s full as far as registration, climb that peak anyways. I have been on a few as registered, and a few without because I was late on sign up day. Pick your peak, and DO IT! Registration is limited to ten, and most I have done had more than ten participants anyways. Always the more the merrier, check your peak in trips and routes, and offer help or equipment if needed, peak coordinators will “usually” respond with their plans. Just my thoughts..

Last time I went up to Madison, back in 2014, I took Valley Way from Appalachia trail head on Rt2.
It has a stream running parallel to the trail, most of the way up, not always right beside it, but close. I thought it was a nice trail.
I did the Presidential traverse from Madison to Lakes, north to south and out via Crawford path to Highland ctr. EPIC trek!
I am not registered for Madison, went on the site late and it was full, but I will be there, I’m staying at Madison hut Saturday night.
I have done 5 Flags on the 48 to date, a great day to get a peak in, and honor those who died on 9/11.
See you there jake,.
