Walt and I fake a couple smiles for this picture as we contemplate what 70+ pounds does to your spine as you grind through the hills.
This is Rainbow Lake where we made our base camp. Elevation 9350 ft. You can see Dave and Walt in the distance. Walt tries his hand at snagging a few trout. As I remember, he got about three snags per trout.
Another beautiful view of Rainbow Lake as the sun was going down.
