All total it was almost 600 miles and 60,000’ of climbing. My wife sagged for us so we didn’t have to worry about fluids....except when she went hiking one day and was really late to our meeting spot! You should do it.
Planning on an Outer Banks Loop in April. Probably my only trip this Spring. Maybe the BRP would be a good target for early next Spring.
