Food thru SNP?

[BobbyNoel]

How much food do you need to carry thru SNP? Will 4 days do it and fill in with meals at the lodges or camp grounds?

If you can crank out mileage in the low twenties - you could theoretically be eating at their Waysides and campgrounds on a daily basis - which eliminates the need for a 4 day food bag. At a low twenty mile day pace it's possible to do the park with an empty food bag (though I'd never do this since I always plan for unforseen situations: injury etc.) A 2 day food bag could get you all the way through the park if you're planning on hitting the lodges and waysides. Unless you're hiking at around 10 miles a day ... then a 4 day food supply will not be a bad idea.
