Much more goes into a day than expected, mainly when it includes a hike. Planning for stops, breaks, photo locations, travel time between locations, and pre-planning for the lighting and sunset—it's a lot to work out. I plan out the route and timing for my couples to make things easier. However, suppose you're considering having a hiking elopement. In that case, I've created this post so you can better understand what amount of time you'll be looking at.
