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.
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.
