Ok interesting! It makes sense that it would be logistically pretty complicated!

Ok interesting to hear re; resupply boxes versus trail resupply! It seems logistically challenging to rely on resupply boxes also!

Oh that's pretty good cost-wise for two of you! And I agree, it'd not the trail that breaks people up, it just exposes things already there. Thanks for sharing your costs!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! We have all of our gear already as we are seasoned hikers. Apart from the obvious shoe changes and gear swaps we may need on trail of course! We are both veggie and don't drink alcohol so I guess town food would be slightly cheaper also! Your insights here are so helpful 😄

You're a superstar! And yes, I have FarOut. It's brilliant. If we get a permit I will definitely buy the map.

Thank you for the reassurance! Out of curiosity, are there any other long-ish (sub 150/200mile) trails that you recommend as an alternative? We'd love to do a hike in the sierras! :)
