Hikes I have done or are planning!
Hiking the Rockies!
I planned a 6 day hike through the Rocky Mountain National Park, starting and ending in Estes Park, CO. Unfortunately, I missed a few details, and did not fully prepare my hiking companions, so we had to bail after the first day, and do the tourist thing. But I will go back, with these things I learned in mind:
- Plan transport to and from trail. There isn't much available for spur of the moment access.
- Plan to acclimate to the altitude and allow time.
- Reserve campground space in addition to site space on the trail.
- Plan a food drop at Grand Lake, to minimize what you need for 6 days.
Some sites useful for planning this trip:
Thru-hike the Appalachian Trail
This is a longer term goal, but being that it is a major undertaking, I am starting to gather info and read up on other peoples trips.
