Beautiful area, hope you left a detailed account with a friend of where you will be hiking/camping. Just like boating, always leave a travel plan with someone not going with you in case of emergency.
absolutely... left a detailed map of times and locations for each day with numbers for all the ranger stations with my wife and underneath my seat in my vehicle. this trip was epic!!!... despite a freak hail storm and a wild boar encounter.
half the fun was getting to the trailhead... driving the 4runner up a looooonng twisting gravel road with 2 creek crossings
