去hiking的人要在公园管理处进行培训和考试。考指南针和地图使用。计划八月27周三早飞，租车，买些东西，赶到住地 在 cow head , 八月28 去公园管理处办事，再到周围玩玩。29开始hiking，29一天 ，30一天，31一天。争取31晚赶回住地，不行就是九月1号早晨回来。 休息，九月2号早6AM飞回。 一个campsite 是10X10 feet。够两个帐篷。有时没有及时赶到campsite，也只好就地搭帐篷。

Long Range 是不是相对安全些，一路风光可能也好一些。如果能将27日和28日乘飞机和去Visitor Center培训压缩在一天完成，28日开始走，到9月1日有5天时间，怎么也走完Long Range了。

走North Rim要穿越没完没了的tuckmore，咨询Gros Morne Park 也说因为这个原因North Rim比Long Range更难走。 -szww33(azure); 14:01 (430 bytes. #8661436@0) more

我有兴趣一起走Long Range Traverse。每天最多允许9个人3顶帐篷。
