We skipped the peak and did the bike route around, it was so deep and the kids voted the flat/downhill bike route! Just too dangerous up there the guest week of March. We started pretty early to avoid the heat, but little did we know what a cold snowy year it would be
You did great. I think adjusting expectations could help manage the day to day goals and the psychological aspect of journeys like this especially with the snow, elevation changes and the sun. On to to day 2!
Thank you! Planning my thru hike for next spring...knowing about the snow situation, would you leave later if you were to do it again? Also, how did you like your tent?
