Posted by upgrayedd How long are you planning to be away from a re-supply? 3 days? 7? That will determine the size and type of pack needed.
we are looking to do two weeks at a time. I guess it depends on how often we find places to resupply. I've read that the first sections have the least "towns" and areas to resupply. I probably plan on starting out with at least five days worth.

You'll need a good sized pack for that. Luckily you'll be going in summer so you can pack light. Try Sierra Trading Post. They always have pretty good deals. Go with internal frame. I've found them to be more comfortable and you don't have to worry about the tabs breaking off the frame.
