Take your time looking at the map, but keep the trail line as straight as possible. Start early in the day when the sun is low so you’ll have cooler temperatures, and make sure you’ve got a solid water source every 10 to 15 kilometers. Bring a small, lightweight compass and a printed route to cross‑check with your GPS—just in case. Pack light, but include a good pair of boots and a rain jacket, because weather changes fast in the backcountry. If you hit a ridge, pause for a quick look; a little observation can save you a detour later. Stick to the main ridgeline when you can—it usually cuts distance and keeps you away from hidden water holes that might slow you down. And if you find a place that feels right, take a breath, breathe in the air, and let the rhythm of your steps keep you steady.

Sounds solid. Remember to pause when you can, breathe in that fresh air, and let the trail guide you. Good luck, and enjoy the quiet moments on the ridge.

Glad to hear it. Keep an eye on the rhythm of your steps and the world around you, and the trek will feel like a conversation with the land. Safe travels.

You’re all set. Stay steady and let the trail do its thing. Good luck.
