>>1070142Just got back from there this weekend. Ended up spilling my last liter of water last night around 9:30. Didn't get any more til 8 this morning.
Closer to hot springs=more people
Ticks are bad if you end up walking through tall stuff. Pants and permethrin are a good idea.
I would start at either Hwy 27 Trailhead or the 298 one and plan to your pace. Fairly remote places, water sources, and shelters. If there something else you wanna know I'll try and help. Not a thru hiker just done many sections.
