I’m sorry but if you’re not bringing a half liter of water per hour of hike you shouldn’t be going anywhere near something resembling backcountry. I will never understand people setting out with barely any water. You’re putting yourself and s&r at risk. Same goes for people who don’t understand how quick the weather can change.

We live on the east coast. Hope this explains everything 🤣 appalachia is far more forgiving when hiking or backpacking

That’s not really an excuse. You’re still putting you’re self and other at risk by not knowing more about where you’re hiking. Don’t set out if you have no idea about where you are. We see this all the time with tourists in Yellowstone and Tetons and it’s super frustrating. If you can’t be bothered to learn about where you’re hiking, or even follow basics water guidelines, don’t do it.

Edit: lol they responded and then blocked me

Get over yourself. The distance of the hike is not even accurately marked. All of the alltrails reviews say it is 6 mi - longer than described and that moderate is not an accurate classification
