I second the be ready for cold to include some snow but also some sunny days which means bring some sun block. There will be no leaves on the trees until late April and you will get sunburned...
I second No RELAY and the others. Game are just to light weight for hiking. They are great for a couple of miles but break down. Also stay away from the ones they sell at Costco as they slip way...
Great company and great gear!End of story,Sweets
It is a little bit of a drive west down the south rim but so well worth it...maybe an hour and a half?? Google search it for sure.The hike to the falls is roughly 8 miles to the Indian village...
All great plans and basically what I did on my trip to the GC. Enjoy!Not sure about you time frames but have you looked into Havissu (sp) while you are in the area? It shouldn't be missed if you...
I own and use both but sometimes all you really need are something like YakTraks or similar product.Your confidence on ice and snow is much greater when you have crampons on and off you need...
Finished it yesterday, no problems and no special gear. The MRNP website is somewhat accurate on snow amounts but maybe a little high on their % with the exception of Summerland to about 1.5 miles...
The latest park numbers came out today (8/1/11) show a significant amount of snow loss throughout most of the trail although some of the numbers didn't change much.I leave from Sunrise on the 11th...
Thank you Different Socks! I didn't think the movie was all that bad but without reading the book you would never know how big of an idiot this guy really is. The book is basically one chapter of...
Another vote for the Six Moons Duo. I have it and love it. Palace with two doors!
I had the same question. I am guessing they are talking about in the GC. If that is the case...$20 permit, no longer any class that I know of. I hiked down a couple of years ago and spent two...
I know that I did this along the trail after I had my gear adjusted like I wanted and had a good idea of what I did not need. When I got to the NOC I cut all extra straps, shortened the ones I was...
2L is plenty you don't need anymore.
Sorry allow me to be more clear. For the AT...you don't need one. For other trails such as the PCT you will need one.
I realize that it is part of the ten essentials but the AT is marked about...
By "not a lot." He means none.
Some of my favorite hiking memories come from times when I have had to adapt and overcome unseen or unplanned for events.
You could tell them that you are hiking the AT with a couple thousand others. You will be about a five minute walk to the nearest road and from there it will be about a three minute drive to the...
My advice...buy a good tent. Doesn't have to be a $300 tent, and you can get nice tents off of REI outlet.
Those were mountains? They were all about the same.
Garbonso-
That is the exact table I did in 2003. Easy money. I stayed in blood MTN shelter, it was not pretty then, and I am sure it is worse now. BUT the sunset was worth it. Went to Meals Gap...
That is about the best advice you are going to get. All plans go out the door. I would say have a start date set in stone and a very rough finish date give or take a couple weeks. In between have...
Depends on when you start. March/April/early May yeah on both. I had a tilly and a baseball hat. I remember getting a little sunburn the first week or so. Later I ditched both for a bandana.
The book that describes it best is probably "Blisters and Bliss."
As quickly as you can!
