Hi all,
I've got a dayhike pass for this Friday. A couple quick questions to help me better prepare...
1) Expected calorie burn? Want to get a gauge as to how much food I need to bring to feel good the whole 22 miles.
2) Expected water consumption? I haven't heard how much water people consume, in total, making a day hike. I understand many fill 'er up as they go (and either filter or use iodine tablets.) Sounds like people will typically carry a MAX of 3 liters on them at any given time. How many liters TOTAL do people typically consume making this trek?
3) I understand there may be bears in the area (and I plan to have bear spray with me.) I haven't heard of anyone having had an encounter yet....are they pretty sparse on the trail? Any particular area along the trail they might most LIKELY be present?
4) Bugs typically a problem? I've got insect repellent along...but haven't heard of bugs being too big an issue.
Many thanks for any tidbits of info!!!
