Hey all,

I'm new to bikepacking, and want to do the Great Divide or another trail this year. Can't take off work until mid to late August or early September, because summer is the bike shop's busy season 
Is early September too late to starte the Divide in Banff and do the whole trail? I probably would be going with 1-2 other people, and not trying to ride incredibly fast, but not slow either. If it's too late, would you suggest a different trail around this time? Colorado Trail? Three Rivers? Thanks
