But if covid remains a concern, I could see an mostly-outdoor trip being preferable. We did a lot of hiking in the pre-vax portion of the pandemic...it was (and still is) one of our favorite activities. I might have opted to camp or stay in a private cabin pre-vax....now I'd be okay with a B&B. Would definitely use a service that sends gear ahead, if that's an option. I've hiked some with a large pack, but it's certainly nicer to not have to if that's an option.
