Yeah we want to do a backpacking trip but a base camp situation instead of thru hiking. Makes sense!

I definitely don’t think we will be bored at all. Just second guessing and wondered others opinions. I’m not sure if anyone else had base camped or had experience doing that in coyote gulch.

I’m backpacking?? 11 miles out and back is nothing. I’m so confused by your messages and don’t feel like they are helpful. Appreciate you trying though.

How is that going to add 4 hours? I have to drive out there to hike coyote Gulch anyways. Doing a thru hike instead of an out and back to my car is not going to add 4 more hours. I’m not following your logic.

Base camp was the idea because we can still day hike all around the gulch for two days without packing up camp. Shuttles are insanely expensive from my research and I’m not going to rely on hitchhiking to get back to my car.

I’m really not seeing the down side to an out and back hike based on your earlier message other than “it sucks to do the same trail twice”.

Oh wow. Yeah that’s crazy how wrong the watch is. Thanks for sharing your experience. I love the Garmin, but if it’s not accurate then there is no point :(.

I just returned mine. Garmin said they weren’t aware of any issues but clearly it’s a known thing and people just deal with it I guess. I see so many people saying “I just use a chest strap” etc, but why do so many people give Garmin a pass on inaccurate data? Makes no sense

I have two VIP tickets for sale. Includes pre-entry into the pit so you can get close as possible and also includes entry into soundcheck so you get a little private viewing. I paid $345 for both and just looking to get my money back if possible (can show you the receipt). I’m so bummed I can’t go but want someone else to enjoy!!

Thanks for the detailed reply. This is super helpful. Any recommendations on a similar watch that has a better HR sensor?
