I've always wondered about a hut to hut trip and what it actually entailed. You did a nice job of the basics and it was great to see people over 40 hiking too!
I have also a picture of that sign, and hiked that path with my mother on her 60th birthday. Subsequently, due to the epic nature of that 4 day backpacking trip, I returned to retrace my steps. Unfortunately, this path is striken from all maps I have looked at, and no one at the visitors center had any recollection of this path. I would love if anyone had any geo / coordinates so I can re-find this path.

Re: Nice reportThanks. Can't beat it when the only rainstorm starts and ends while you are enjoying the comforts of the Mizpah Springs hut!

Re: Informative but good read!Some of the toughest hikers I know are in their 70s, but hiking with 20 somethings will open your eyes to some of the perks of youth!
