Thank you! Yeah, four hours of active hiking is what I was guessing. I'd heard similar numbers elsewhere but was trying to gather opinions. I'm 40, solid hiking shape but nothing spectacular. I think I'm going to plan on 8 hours so there's plenty of time to explore and a good buffer if (when)...
Hey! Came across your post because I’m going to be hiking the gulch in September. Great photos! How long do you guess it would take to hike up and down the gulch from the river (not going over to Merriweather, just up and down in Mann). I’m hiring a boat and need to figure out timing. Thanks!
