Amazing how good of shape you can get in by hiking 10-12 hours a day for 27 days with a 30 lb pack on your back. I am a new man.
Six moose by the lake when I woke up. Got to watch them while packing up. Possibly my favorite day. Covered a lot of territory, and had views all day. 8 climbs and each one led to a different view. Where I had breakfast, lunch and dinner were all jaw dropping views. Wild flowers everywhere and I camped in a field of them. Tramly is gone. I think some ahead some behind. I was going to camp by three small lakes but nobody was there and there were moose tracks everywhere so I moved on 3/4 a mile and found a spot in a field of flowers, with a view. I don’t trust moose.
16 miles today, camp is at 12,385’ and I am at mile 397.
Amazing photos!!
