Unpopular opinion: I stopped planning routes around mileage after getting caught out past dark above treeline in the Winds
I used to brag about 18 mile days until a ranger at the Green River Lakes trailhead asked how many hours of daylight I actually had left, not how many miles. Now I plan by hours and bailout points, and my last 3 trips were way less stressful. Anyone else switch to time based planning or am I overthinking it?
