Oh dear. Thanks for this info. Good to know! I do not have the gear (nor the fortitude) for camping in the cold so I'll have to postpone this trail for the spring. Thanks again for the reply.

Hello friends, I'm interested in a finding a 50-75 mile trek I might be able to do on the AZT that will be WARM over Thanksgiving week in November. I do not have appropriate gear for freezing nighttime temps, so are there any options that would keep me in warmer temps that time of year? Thanks!!!
