This is our proposed route:

https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=12.4/-121.6862/46.9579&pubLink=efn5Z9doRktJv0Xyie5o6ghE&trackId=1a4bdd52-ca61-4441-990d-246711a88279

We will hike at a CHS 2 pace- at the higher end on the flatter areas, and slower on the incline.  We will plan on 5 minute breaks every hour or so.  It won't be a race, and we will take time to enjoy the beautiful scenery while also making steady forward progress.  I am hoping for wildflowers and wildlife on this beautiful route!
