I'm planning a gorge loop hike (the 22 mile loop) starting from the wolfpit trailhead and going counter clockwise on a full three day hike. I am taking my hammock and I'm hiking with tent campers. I'm concerned that lack of trees on the east rim may be a problem for me and my hammock. It looks like one good days walk near a water source would be near the shortoff mountain campsite. I can always go to the ground, but if that's a real possibility I need to plan accordingly. The underquilt won't do me much good on the ground and my air mattress or ridgerest will work on the ground or in the hammock but its not the most comfortable way to go.
Please give me some comments about hammock use on the east rim and/or suggestions on which insulation to take .... thanks!
