Not sure what happened to the stars...meant to give it 4!
Did this backpack with some additional trails on 4/15-16 2013 (approximately 15 miles on day one, and 12 on day 2. Spent the night at the Brien Memorial Shelter, as advised. Did not find water there and had to backtrack to fill up for the evening. One other hiker at shelter. Overall, a beautiful hike, a beautiful park, and a great overnight.
Did this backpack last weekend (10/06 - 10/07/2012). Was pretty challenging hike though shouldn't be difficult for anyone in halfway decent shape. We definitely needed almost all of both days of the weekend to complete it. Lots of nice views and varied terrain. Stayed at the indicated shelter where there was a water source.
Just did this trail and it was amazing great for beginners and novice. I didn't sleep over because I did it on a weekday but will continue again during the weekend. Thanks
