ok

we (me and tiffany) are going to rocky mountain national park (estes park side)

going to drive to bear lake, and then hike up one of the trails (havent decided which one yet)

we are starting on wedneday morning, and plan on staying that night and thursday night

we both have framed backpacks, and i dont want hers to weigh over 25 lbs, and i can easily double that

im not an extremly experienced hiker.......mostly day trips, its been years since ive actually done an over nighter, so really im most intersted in the amout of H2O i should bring...we both have 2L bocas we plan on brining, and there are plenty of streams where we will be hiking

just putting around the site, i have found some valueable info, and i appreciate the comments.....i dont forsee any problems, and i dont plan on leaving the trail....just want to get away far enough to see no more manmade lights, and possibly get close to one of the peaks to camp the second night

thanks
