Trail is tough and long! It's better suited for an overnight as a number of commnters on this subreddit have said. There are a number of good looking campsites. I'm a slow hiker so I was worried about running our of daylight and so didn't dawdle and didn't take many photos. Lots of signs of oil and gas extraction including black plastic gas pipeline running everywhere. I only saw two other people all day including one hardy soul running the trail. There is one stream crossing and was shin deep. I didn't choose to go barefoot across an so hiked the last eight or nine miles with wet feet. Probably not the best choice
