There will be four videos in this series with each covering 2-3 days of the hike. I originally didn&#8217;t want the trip to be this long, but it was the only way to make the itinerary happen with the available last-minute permits. Turned out to be great as I was going slow due to the rain and it being my fist hike of the year &#8212; so I enjoyed the slower pace, especially with so much to see in the area.
