Food: ymmv, but I went thru a cup or so of sour gummy bears, two hb eggs, 1oz cheese, 1oz jerky, 4oz butterfinger bites, a Clif shot and 4 shot blok chews. Had only a bottle of frappucino at 2:30 am and the portal dbl cheeseburger + fries the evening before. I'm a big guy, and I didn't touch the 3 energy bars or the packet of nuts or the rest of the gel shots & other crap...probably brought 2x as much as I needed and I was trying to go light.
FWIW, I stashed my water shoes in a broken-off dead tree where the trail turns uphill past the final water crossing beyond outpost campsites. There are a few more wet spots between there and Trail Camp, but nothing you can't rock-hop or climb around.
If you take light trail shoes or hikers and spend much time on slushy snow, your footwear will be pretty soaked. I brought a 2nd pair of dry socks to put on for the last 3+ miles of descent after wading Outpost Camp/Bighorn Park again. I highly recommend it.
