May 26th is memorial day and getting a backcountry permit for that weekend before or the few day after will probably be even more difficult than usual. Since the 15th of May is the earliest the Northrim opens for hiking, depending on Mike and Leslie's teaching schedule, the closer to that date the better. From some of the articles I've read it's best to submit the permit with flexibility of dates and in what route/ camps you plan on staying. This increases your chances of obtaining the permit. Thoughts or ideas?
Our Nichols Disney Adventure has come and gone and it's time to start thinking about this trip again!! I posted an article about physical conditioning on the Hiking Tips page. Have a read and let's start talking about what some of us will be doing to train for this hike! John, Biggs and Rose, when the new year rolls around we could get together once a week or so to Run stairs down at the arch for an hour, probably would be good training I would think. Thoughts? Looking forward to this guys!
I'm down for some Chub Trail hikes,let's pick a few Sundays to load up some packs and go! Time to get geared up for this trip! Biggs, we discussed the trip yesterday and either myself or Leslie will post some details in the next few days!

ReplyDeleteI'm wide open since we're planning it so far out.

ReplyDeleteOk STL folks. Are we going to start getting together for a hike every weekend after the new year?

DeleteWe would love to meet up in the spring! Hopefully we can make a trip or two your way, or we can all meet somewhere in between.
