Here's the WTA description of our route:

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!
