Hello! I'm looking for a 3 night trip, ideally hiking between 5-10 miles a day. No cross country routes please! Thank you.

Firstly, read here, to help us help you: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4205

Secondly, how do you feel about smoke? With fires up and down the mountain range, there's very little out there where you will be able to escape it.
