Distance = 14 Miles; People Met = 2
We only met two people today, John and Sally on the Grizzly Lake Trail. John used to work for NOLS, so that perhaps explains why we met them on a remote section of trail.
Remote indeed! The stretch we hiked today began and ended with cross country work over spectacular mountain ridges and passes. To me, there is nothing more rewarding in all of backpacking than going cross country in a high mountain landscape. See for yourself. If you get an error message press the YouTube button.
