The further we drop down, the less rock, the bigger the trees, and the nicer the trail.

Having gotten far away from the trailhead, we got away from grand central station. This deep into the woods, there are no day hikers or day hikers disguised as backpackers. We didn't see anyone in route to camp 2.

As we approach the intersection of Piute and French Canyons, Andra wanted to take a picture of the sign. She continued this habit throughout our trip, so expect to see pictures of signs everyday!
