Hello,
I want to spend Dec 26 -Jan 1st traveling out my first winter UL hike (unless someone wants to persuade me to fly out to warm weather area). I live in Illinois but I’ll be in Philadelphia on the 26th so really a drive or flight anywhere works. I figured I’d pick a location before submitting a gear list for review. I’m not opposed to snoe shoeing either.
It looks like if I leave on the 26th and need the 1st to get back I’ll have a good 4 solid days of hiking +/- another 1/2 day if needed but I don’t wanna push it my first sub 32 extended hike.
FYI, the lowest temp I can sleep with my system is 10. I have an SMD trekker that generbally can shed at most 6″ of overnight snow safely.
So any suggestions for loops or easily hitch hiked one way routes y’all suggest?
Hanz
