💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.2 hours of daylight in July — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- Drier-season public-access window; the exact trail, admission, fire status and water conditions still require a live ICMBio check.
- Light days: day 2, day 4, day 5 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
