Appreciation post: My switch from a strict daily mileage plan to a more flexible system
For years, I planned every trip, like my 5-day Wind River Range loop, down to the exact campsite each night. After a brutal day of unexpected elevation gain left me exhausted and miserable, I shifted to just picking a general area and letting weather and energy decide. Do you still stick to a rigid itinerary, or have you moved to a looser style too?
