Here the satellite view from Google Map showing the trail route we took on day 2 of the Mission Trails backpack hike. You will see a very straight line in the hike, that is where we lost satellite reception when we went through a narrow valley.
Here is the profile of the hike that day. With was generated through Garmins MapSource program. I’m not real thrilled with it so if someone knows a better way to generate this, let me know. There are some real nice verical sections, some I know were very close to verical, but maybe not as verical as this graph is showing 😉
I have the GPS data if anyone is interested in playing with it. Just reply to steven@stachwick.com and I will send it to you.
