Tomorrow I have my first ''big'' hiking expedition since 4 years ago. I think I'm prepared but I'm nervous and I never trust my epilepsy.

What I will do will be 3.478m of altitude with 1.914m of positive and negative slope. There will be 30km in total.

I'm not going alone, there will be 3 pros with me and one friend, but he went there more than one time. My only problem is my fucking epilepsy, hell If I wouldnt't have it things would be so different.

Any recommendations? I'm in good shape btw.

Finally the first good news in a long time.
>Mr. Trump also ordered the Interior Department to give U.S. residents "preferential treatment" over foreign visitors regarding "recreational access rules, including permitting or lottery rules" that parks might have in place. The order did not detail what those preferential treatment rules would entail, but some popular national parks have reservation systems for entry and camping during peak seasons.
Americans get first pick finally
>The order Thursday also revoked a memorandum signed in January 2017, at the tail end of former President Barack Obama's second term, which sought to promote diversity and inclusion at national parks. The move appeared to be part of the ongoing effort by the Trump administration to scale back the federal government's diversity efforts.
No more diversity bullshit

How do you guys feel about the reintroduction of grizzly bears into the North Cascades? They basically want the entire NE Washington down to I-90 to be grizzly land again and this has caused concerns with locals who have fought against it (which is why it hasn't happened just yet).

I have 10 days to spend backpacking in the Pyrenees in August, I'm driving there so where should I aim to? French or Spanish side?

Looking for nice trails, mountain lakes to swim and sunbathe nearby and hopefully not many people around. I want to summit Aneto or Mount perdido.
Thanks.

I just paid for Alltrail Peak. As far as I can tell the main difference so far is it lets you draw custom maps on their maps. What's funny is you pay 80 dollars a year, and those naggers STILL won't pay the licensing fees to give us back the Topo maps they had for years. I am hoping paying this money allows me to get some glimpse of community content/user submitted trails - I've found all sorts of cool stuff on unofficial trails. They also took away the ability to see user photos while hiking on the trail, which let you position yourself for the best views, and now they have a community heatmap which is strangely much less useful.

Custom Routes gives you the ability to build your ideal trail, whether it’s a short loop or a multi-night through-hike. Members can start from scratch, customize existing trails, and use new AllTrails smart-routing, which leverages AI to make a trail shorter, less steep, or “more scenic” with just a tap.

Trail Conditions provides expected condition information along the trail, including temperature, precipitation, and snow depth. Functioning as a weather app within the AllTrails platform, Trail Conditions combines analysis of 15 weather factors with geospatial intelligence and recent reviews. More than 10 million data points power Trail Conditions, which also includes alerts for air quality and mosquito activity. A future update will add terrain and ground conditions showing pavement, gravel, mud, and more.

Community Heatmap allows you to see trail traffic data to find popular trails or quieter hidden gems. Supported by millions of trailgoers’ activities, Community Heatmap gives insights into recent outdoor activity to help members plan an adventure that aligns with their preferences.

You protect your eggs when backpacking, right?
