There are moments when the trail gives you exactly what you need.
The route was Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. We had empty company on the trail.
Check conditions before you go.
Quick notes:
- Start earlier than you think.
- Take photos of the permit.
- Bring one extra liter.
