a 30 mile hike in 2 days...
make it 3 days... do 10 every day and enjoy it... I've always felt having to do more then that makes it seem rushed and I don't feel like i enjoyed and got as much out of the trip.

and if you can get to your camps by car or with a short walk then put some caches of supplies there to lighten your load, use bear boxes if necesary and just put your name and date on the supplies.

the most i've done in a day was 24 miles and that was brutal... but we didnt have much choice since we only had day packs and no real backpacking packs. but we were able to leave all our supplies at the overnight spot... helped a ton


as for boots, i'm a fan of hi-tec brand, theyve always done really well for me, There is an outlet in norcal somewhere on the way to yosemite, my family would always stop there and see what was on sale.
