Sometimes this backcountry hiking trail gets really dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Now, this is roughly a 6-day trek, so it's a fine thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. Different parts of Pine Ridge Trail are at very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the wilderness hiking trail.

Pine Ridge Trail is quite long, so don't forget to pack enough supplies.
