Going to the San Juans this next week and am looking at a ~4 day ~30 mile loop. I'm aware thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon and should stay beneath the treeline during those but was wondering if there's anything else I should be aware of and I'm open to changing the trail to a similar distance. Going with a buddy and just aiming for the best views/least crowds possible. We also don't have too much experience backpacking(though are proficient hikers) and are aiming to stay on trails at least majority majority of the time.
