    Hi Kevin, I see that a permit + reservation fee is about $150. Can you help me understand what other fees I might be paying? (park entry fee, bus/shuttle, etc) Thanks! Love the blog.

    • Kevin January 23, 2016 at 1:00 pm

      Hi Ben. Unfortunately I don’t know what the latest rates, but I can tell you what items I paid when I did my hike: permit/reservation and shuttle. That was it. There’s no park entry fee, and the ferries are included in the permit. Have fun!

    I was wondering whether you have this wct trip GPS file… I am going to the same direction, so it would be very helpful if you can sh a really it. Thanks.

    • Kevin February 9, 2016 at 11:20 am

      Sorry, but I didn’t have any GPS devices with me during the WCT, so I don’t have any files to share.

Rough race and not the result I was looking for. W Rough race and not the result I was looking for. Was targeting a sub 2:55 but finished in 3:31. It felt hard from the start and had stomach issues later on. Still proud of the effort and finish.
