my dad and uncle are going to go hiking this summer for at least 10 days, estimated 15 miles per day. theyre going to start somewhere at the southern end of the pct ( pacific crest trail ). ive been offered to come along, but im unsure... has anyone done something like this before? any feedback?
my dad first hiked the appalachian trail when he was 17, and has kept hiking since, and ive come along a bit - but he hasnt gone through real desert areas like this. he wants to go through the mojave desert ( in JUNE ), so its going to be p damn hot. he used to do a lot of rock climbing out west, but i havnt spent more than a couple weeks in the area, and that time wasnt hiking.
feedback? is my dad insane for the time and place?? will rattlesnakes kill us all??? will i cry the whole way???? any veterans feedback would be super
