# hikey hike

## Schedule
- 6th: get to [dongpu lodge](https://g.co/kgs/Nn5zV8), stay overnight
- 7th: early morning(~7am), drive to yushan, take the shuttle to the yushan entrance. Hike to paiyun lodge (on the mountain - 8.5km, 4-6 hours). 
- 8th: early morning (can leave suuuuper early to watch sunrise, but there apparently usually are a ton of people, which might not be very relaxing), then back to the trailhead - 9-10 hours, 13 km

## Preparation
- train a bit cuz it's quite a bit of elevation - 1700m in 1 day at least
- sleep, hydrate, and eat well

## Gear:
- hiking gear (shoes, poles optional)
- water - 3L/day. (is there water up top, or do we need to hike up 6L?)
- food (they should have food at the lodge, but let me double check)
- energy bars/snacks
- sleeping stuff (sleeping bag - though looks like you might be able to rent there, pillow) there will be a mattress at the lodge
- rain gear (pants, jacket) if it rains. Worst case you can leave it in the car
- rain cover for backpack
- clothes you need for the 2 days
- warm clothes (as elevation will make it chilly, particularly at night)
- headlamp
- (garden) gloves for holding the chain to the peak
- earplugs
- eye mask
- toiletries (and a baggie for any trash)
- portable charger for your phone (they won't really have accessible charging ports)
- altitude sickness medicine. We'll rest if it happens, but stay hydrated
- water! Won't be any stops on the way up. So bring bottles or a pack, and a way to refill. hot water will be provided at the top during certain hours
- eating dish and utensils
