Per your question on my blog about Kenn, SW and approach trail difficulty: The AT approach is 17 miles, making it about 1 mile further than a full loop at Kennesaw. I think it much more difficult than either Kennesaw or Sweetwater. There are a number of climbs that are similar to the difficult climb on the yellow blaze at Sweetwater. Ditto far descents.
The terrain is also quite a bit more technical than either place. By the end of the run, my ankles always especially hurt from all the twisting and turning.
All that being said, I am seemingly getting more and more enthraled with the difficult runs and a little bored with the cliche ones. Not arrogance …more like Attention Deficit Disorder and a desire to experience new challenges.
