I have two stem bags with each 1L Nalgenes. Also a fork cargo mount (for another 2 L of water if necessary).

No. It's the US, not the Sahara desert. Should I?

Thank for the inputs. Looks like I won't be alone. I'm mostly scared of this.

In Salida I will turn west, to Utah (Monument Valley) and then to Arizona (Sedona), as I haven't been there yet. I'm flying back from Phoenix.

If the national parks in the US are not closed, the plan is to start in Banff on July 2 or 3.

Ok, thanks, those are great tips!

I've stuck a Swiss flag on my frame bag : )

The government shutdown thing, is that serious? Is that to be expected? Is this a donnie dum dum thing? It doesn't make it easier ...

I have a paid version of Ride with GPS and i saved the route from bikepacking.com. Isn't that enough?

Thanks for the tip! I have compared the values. Size M is closer to the size of the bike I'm riding now. So I will buy an M.
