  1. Sounds like a Perfect trip. Thanks for the tour of NCNP.
  2. "ALRIGHT, there is a large group of men camped there! Wohooo! Oh wait, they are all teenage boys. And even the group leaders are too young for me." That was a group from B.O.L.D. spending two weeks mountaineering in the area. I lead the same trip in July and came down the SE side of Vesper down Vesper creek to the Sultan river valley. 2 full days of bushwacking Chuck Norris style with 65lb packs with 14 year old boys = aweful. The Vesper creek mining road is all but gone with slight traces. The Sultan river road has also been reclaimed by nature. That stretch is beautiful and very wild these days. Lesson learned: With budget cuts and continual limited access to public lands, don't trust maps.
  3. That last photo is marvelous! I love the alpine lakes wilderness.
