lol. The Hayduke isn't a trail. It's a route. The natural wonders and experiences on the route are phenomenal though with basically infinite more natural wonders to be experienced by amending the route or deviating from it on occasion.![]()
There's a greater than avg risk factor especially going solo. A newbie soloist with the Hayduke being their first LD hike is not something I can recommend. I could have easily died on that thru as an experienced fit desert hiker, navigator, and LD hiker.
