Day 16: Miles 151.8 to 162.6 PVC to Cedar Springs

Started at 8AM with breakfast at mama eggs which was amazing. Then went to the gear shop again, tried on back packs. Mine is way too heavy with 8 days of food. I Like the Deuter air contact so 45 + 10. 240$ (german brand of course haha) but didn’t get it. Good to know as a back up though. Mine is a frameless pack and this one has steel framing, so it is heavier but offers more support and is comfortable for heavier loads (18-20kg).

Mine felt more comfortable. With 8 days of food it was very heavy plus all the elevation, it was a tough day but also beautiful alpine scenery.

Today was hard – the downhill and uphill with 8 days of food was brutal.

Did 18.77km today.

Ascent 826m

Descent 410m

Steps 22612

Beautiful alpine sceneries though – had a lovely day!
