    Very good point. And certainly not a bad idea to have both, guidebook pages and an app. You can use the app as little as you like if it seems to detract from the adventure, or use the pages as only a...

    Having thru hiked using only a guidebook and maps, I would do it again that same way. Though having Guthooks would have eliminated some route-finding adventures in the thick of winter when there's no...

    Definitely.

    Hiking thru winter gives a good perspective about how easy it is to hike thru non winter. Adversity at the start can be a good thing. If you don't quit.
