Hey man I wasn’t able to finish the whole trail but I hiked from Campo, Ca to around South Lake Tahoe area, something like 1,100 miles and it took me around 2 months and 10 days or something. Such an awesome experience. I live near a ton of beautiful nature, hiking, high mountain lakes etc so was still able to come home and enjoy that, anyway.
I certainly enjoyed myself and actually have am going to whole trail, hopefully here in the next couple years!
I am an Aries and am pretty physical and head on but wasn’t pushing myself too hard after I got my trail legs. Hiking 20+ miles a day was feeling pretty easy. Did quite a few 25 mile days no problem and I was usually the last person out of camp .
I know what Washington can be like and it is a more enjoyable experience to avoid the beginnings of winter and the potential for life threatening snow storms etc. My goal would be to finish in mid September. I think I may go southbound (SOBO) next time.
Highly suggest the hike
