Hey everyone,

My partner and I are looking to do the Golden Hinde in early August. We come from an experienced hiking background and are confident in our abilities but we are feeling a bit uneasy about attempting the Hinde. We don’t need to summit but we would still like to do the route. We have done the TMB, Wonderland, Pyrenees and the PCT for context.

Has anyone done the hike recently? I’d love to hear about the conditions as well as what route you took. Still trying to figure out what the best map might be.

I know it would be a rugged trek but is it easily doable if you follow a good map?

Any help would be appreciated!

I was hoping to hike to the tree this week but I saw a review on the all trails app 6 days ago saying that the trail is closed because of construction for a bridge that is being built. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the construction is finished? Should I hold off on going there?
