    I think so many of us have done this trail as a day hike since overnights are the ultimate challenge for NF, and then we want to overnight even more so after day hiking it. I hadn't thought about it, but your description of the first couple of miles is so accurate. It's a mini beast, but once you get to the sign, it's a steady flow the rest of the way, and doesn't feel as difficult. Props on getting the good real estate at lake 2. Also agree on the backpacking vibe. So many cool people to meet on trail. ✌️

      @questrunnerchannel  10 месяцев назад +1

      I would say around June since we’ve been having late winters , but always check the weather forecast for changes.

    • @questrunnerchannel
      @questrunnerchannel  2 года назад +1

      You guys will love it 🙌 during late fall going into November expect the weather to drop significantly. I’ve done that trail around that time as well and caught scatter showers, but the weather is always unpredictable. I would definitely keep an eye on the forecast. Take a down jacket, zero degree sleeping bags etc. The rivers will be flowing, and the views amazing 🙌. I have some more details on a blog I posted on my webpage: questrunnerchannel.com 😁 thanks for watching 🙏
