How did you make out on this trip? I’d thought about planning a hike on that trail but am unsure how many days to plan for.

My son came, so we did a modified trip- ended up doing about 10KM hike in just for a night.

As for the whole loop - I've done it a few times ( I think 4 ) as well as an attempt in winter - which we ended up doing plan B and dropping down to finish via lake travel as the snow conditions and freezing rain made travel slow, icy and dangerous.

If you are doing the whole loop I'm not sure what to say for time / distance - all I know is every time I've done it I'm hobbling and limping and sore for days after .... But I like to push myself so 10 hours + of hiking is something I like .

I'd watch some youtube vids or trip reports and you can see how long you want to take.

Cheers!
