(come prepared with alternative hike treks... can be from 10 to 5 miles a day)

 

 (This trip will require that crews decide on 3 different hikes.  The reason is because you will not know what camping sites you'll get until you check in with the park.  They will tell you if the camping site that you want has already been taken... first come first serve.  Therefore, it was advised by forest ranger to come prepared with alternative choice so you wouldn't be "floundering" to pick another trek and camping site.)
