Backpacking

One of my favorite places in the world :)

One of the most beautiful places on earth!

Hands down probably the most secluded beautiful place to visit in the entire lower 48

This is one of those places where a significant portion of the wilderness is more than a couple miles up trail from any trail head. This can be both a positive and a negative. It requires time and endurance to see the coolest places but you will have more solitude and less crowds when you get there. I've hiked much of the southern three quarters and there is nothing I wouldn't repeat. The high altitude lakes are great for fishing with beautiful fish like Grayling and Golden Trout

Hiked to Helen Lake with my dog. Apparently about 40 or 50 people were at Misty Moon on Saturday so I didn't go up there. A lot of Moose. Saw a total of nine during my stay and two bulls One bull was absolutely massive. Keep your dogs on a leash at all times here! Beautiful views!
