Any idea what the humidity would be vs 15% at Philmont?

So my brother would call and go on and on about the 20 milers he'd do in the CO Rockies compared to the 8-10 miler backpacking trips I might do. I finally told him, "We have to push through more air!"

There are several great wilderness areas in the Monongalia National Forest in WV. Dolly Sods is my favorite.

The Standing Stone trail that connects Tuscarora Mt and Appalachian trails has some pleasant vistas.

Lots of trails in PA's Allegheny National Forest.

Thanks for all of your input - Our scouts decided to do the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) vs Smokies or Yosemite. They wanted to go low budget to save for Philmont in 2020. It should be cooler there near the lake and we hope to get some great vistas in.
