Hey y'all,
Going on my first elk hunt this August to CO. I've found tons of great info from everyone on this site, but of course I still have some questions. I'm currently planning out trail routes for the area I'll be hunting. It will be me and a buddy, we'll be traveling fairly light, we're both in good shape, but not used to altitude, and we will be in what's known to be a very rugged area. My question is, how far is too far to hike in? I was thinking a 3-4 mile hike to camp from the parking area is good, but I don't know if that's amateur milage or if that's mileage only experienced mountain hunters should be making. Any response helps.
