The perfect blend of easy and challenging for an intro backpack. 3.5 in, 1 out, perfect idea for needing to be somewhere early the second day! Shelter was stunning, new water pump was fantastic. Really well kept trail, we were impressed with the lack of mud on the way in but got many inches overnight so had a deep hike out. |
