Comments: This was my longest hike yet, and my second solo. I started at the eastern trailhead, and found the trail to be very well marked. The hardest portion for me was from that trailhead to the Reza farmhouse and spring. This trip has inspired me to pursue ultralight backpacking, as a heavy pack made clambering over rocks sometimes difficult. Prepare well, get plenty of rest, and have a great time!
