“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...” - John Muir
We started our hike at Branham Lake.
A track...dog or bear? We're not sure. But no worries, we forgot the bear spray.
Our first stop is that saddle.
Branham Lake where we parked.
Bell Lake
Mountains goats on next ridge
He somehow always at least one good blister.
Heading to boulder field

Heading out.
Beautiful day. Difficult hike. Not many fish. But that's OK.
