I would want to travel as light as possible for any extended time off
pavement in the mountains. Dunno if the extra 15 lbs of the trailer
would be a good thing. Most of the guys that race/ride the Tour Divide
are using frame bags along and/or a backpack to carry their stuff.
Would be conceivable that you would run into streams or creeks that
needed fording as well. In either case, sounds fun. :)
