After your ride, if you want to set up camp, throw up an antenna and work some HF, then the KX3 is great for that. It's about using the right tool for the right job.
I believe he said he had just passed his Technician license, somewhat limiting on HF. I'll agree with all the rest, KX3 is not the recommended radio. A large group of hams provide comm support for the Western States Endurance Run and the Tevis Cup Endurance Ride on parts of the historic Western States Trail from Sacramento to Salt Lake City in the Sierra Nevada. Very rugged territory, we use a lot of repeaters, but simplex VHF works very well with HT's over 5-7 mi ranges.
