Pretty wild to see people and @hiking.chick shown Pretty wild to see people and @hiking.chick shown here trying to get a start date.  Can’t imagine that excitement and waiting to see if you get a permit and what start date you get.  Wild!  Good luck @hiking.chick !!

Part of me wants to bring my Nike Aqua Water shoes from 1989... making them 34 years old when I hike.  Couple of years ago, I hiked 16km in them around Silent Lake Provincial Park with no blisters or issues.  They would be good for river crossings too.
