thanks Brett! no we didn't. we parked a car at the north end prior to our trip so we just drove out. however according to my logs we arrived at the north end at about 3pm. I think we left that morning about 9am. so definitely possible if you start a bit earlier in the day.
@@markjohnperkins Thanks for the info Mark. Definitely helpful in my planning. I have not decided if i want to tackle this in 5 days like you or 6 days ...
@@brettturner1442 a fair question! I can't say I'd really recommend 5 days. My hiking partner and I drove over from Calgary and we both have young kids, so we wanted to minimise our time away from family (of course 2 days driving is tacked on also). which is why we did it in 5. This was my first long distance overnight hike despite doing tons of hiking in the rockies. a lot of my gear was heavy and I made too many comfort/price based decisions. If you have the time, I'd go 6 days. its a great trail and you'll enjoy it more. The first day we didn't get into camp until dusk since the safety briefing in the late morning is at an awkward time. That said, if I didn't have the choice to go 6 and could only do 5, then do that! :) also, try to reduce your pack weight as much as possible. 21kg was too heavy for me, imho. i hope thats beneficial in some way!

Great Video ! Did you make the 1:45 bus out of Pechena bay on day 5 ?
