Great trip! I had the exact same trip planned about 3 years ago...except in reverse...ending at the HST trailhead. I was surprised at how few people combine these 2 trails. I ended up breaking my ankle pretty badly before my trip and had to cancel so these pics have certainly reignited that spark. Next summer maybe...
Great job! Great pics! Would love to see your gear list and resupply strategie and what not.
