Yeah my current bag is a Negative 20 deg bag. It's a great bag in the winter used it a number of times camping in the winter but it gets hot quick and is probably over kill for summer outings.

Anyone have any idea how long time wise a 30 mile trek should take?  I know it's going to largely depend on me and my walking buddy's pace but I was think doing it over three days to have some time to go off trail and explore

Yeah those shots are awesome and its good advice

Thanks

Three days sounds like a reasonable target.  Get some trekking poles as suggested by Bean Counter.  I'd fill in the gear you need by looking around at sales and classifieds.
