My son just got a job as a trail guide in Estes Park Co. anybody have any equipment suggestions for him? Stuff that most people forget about but is something that has become essential for you. Thanks in advance.

Sunset - time to relax in our camp

There are several trails around this lake which is a provincial park.

Sorry for the wall of text, but as we put it all down, we realised that we had to add more and more criteria.

We are planning our last trip for this year and are based in Germany. Our plans/funds unfortunately don't allow something as far away as Scotland/Sweden/... so we are looking in Germany, Denmark, BeNeLux, Western France, Austria or Switzerland.

Ideally, this trail is not too much of a misery in autumn. We are fine with lots of ups and down, but not equipped for mountains or very alpine terrain in this time of the year. We would be fine with huts or shelters, but could also wild camp (if it's no too much of a hassle). Doing just a certain section (5days max) would be fine for us as well.

Bonus points for remoteness and beautiful nature. Walking along roads, forestry roads or villages all day is a bit monotone after a while.

Might be that this does not exist; we enjoyed e.g. the West Highland Way very much and are looking forward for Sweden/Norway.

The water is usually crystal clear turquoise, but had just recently had monsoon storms there the week before we arrived.

This was one of the most terrifying hikes I’ve ever done in my life and I doubt I will ever do it again. Absolutely stunning, though.

For me, it was to always bring a big water bottle (or two smaller ones).

I just got back from a hike on one of the hottest days of the year where I ended up walking around 3 hours and several kilometers after running out of water during the hottest part of the day before I could get to a churchyard with an outdoor tap to fill up on. Not fun!
