We did another 25+ mile day today. Stuffing and chicken tonight.
On the Appalachian Trail:
- <2k vertical ascent didn’t count.
- 2k to 3k was a normal day.
- 3k to 4k was noticeable but not notable.
- 4K+ was notable and memorable.
But those were for 10-12 mile days.
On the Pacific Crest Trail we do 20-25 mile days. And yesterday, in a 25 mile day, we broke our all time high and hit 2k more feet than out biggest AT day.
So, fewer feet of ascent per mile, but often more in a day.
