Conclusions

We learned quite a bit during the planning portion of the trip, and also from the actual trip.

Some tips we would advise for anyone wishing to do a similar trip:

1. Choose a time of year when you'll be able to handle the climate, we suggest checking historical weather
2. Plan to bring 4 litres of water per day if biking on hot days (25 Celsius and above)
3. Consider leaving early in the morning to get the biking done before the heat of the afternoon - you may have to sit around in the heat once the biking is done but at least you won't be working!

We compiled a Youtube video so that others may see the beauty of the park. I strongly recommend watching the high definition version (change the 360p to 1080p or 720p if the computer is having trouble).

A picture album for which we've chosen the best shots is located on Smugmug. The pictures are embedded with GPS coordinates so that it can be seen exactly where we were standing when we took the pictures. Click the Map button to find this out. The link is below
