I've only lately hiked as much as 14 miles in a day so I have a little sense of what it might take.

Teslinhiker- how many in your party? What ages/condition?

2 adults, early and mid 40 years of age. Both in very good shape with extensive long-term wilderness hiking and camping experience in all seasons.

More a blending of questions. The 200 mile walk is the distance between the furtherest north of the canyon route to home. The post I made about 6 above this one explains more on my idea of this topic.
