Amen on the whipped part shato. We did 2 from4 miles, 3 of us in one day. I have never been so tired, my feet felt like they had been hit by sandpaper. After that weekend, I quit elk hunting, until the next weekend anyway.

If you do it by yourself, just make sure that you are prepared, the mounatins have a way of gobbling up even the most experienced. Make sure that whatever you do, leave a travel plan with someone and don't stray from it....
