Description
The Triple Crown loop is a 35 mile hike with more than 8000 ft in total elevation gain. Most people take 2-3 days to complete it, but we're doing it all in one! Before you sign-up for this trip, you should make sure that you are both physically and mentally prepared for a hike this difficult. There are only 2 bail spots at 10 miles and 23 miles in. There are also water refill spots fairly often, except for the last 10 miles, where there are none.
