    As opposed to helicopter or motorized vehicle. The AT to the Black Rock spur is wide enough to get 4x4 vehicles to the spur trail -- it used to be a dirt road to/from the Black Rock Hotel back in...

    -That it's actually a lot of hard work. I think those who have never backpacked underestimate what hiking for many miles a day with 25+ lbs on their back feels like. It's a lot of work. You get...
