Overnight backcountry backpacking/hiking in the spirit of taking less and doing more. Ask yourself: do I really need that?

first week of September. it's a high snow year so i'm going to let it melt. wouldn't want to go any later

It's funny how mountain weather works. We've had snow at the end of August or, like last year, we were sleeping at 12,000' mid-October.

You'll probably be on trail about a week, I'd imagine?

planning for 4 days, but I have an extra day if I need it

So, 20-25 miles a day? Pretty good.

yeah i was hoping for 25 mpd, would give me some extra time to take in the sights and sit out rainstorms :)
