Looking down on the canyon that our campsite is in from near the top of the switchbacks.

I was glad to get back to camp. I usually don't have a problem with altitude, but it's been effecting me for the last couple of days.

The next morning when I woke up to a light rain. It stopped after about an hour. I pack up quickly and headed out. Was still feeling bad and wanted to get back down to the truck. The others were about an hour behind me.

Craig and Brent back at the trailhead. I been emailing Craig for a coulpe of years so it was nice to finally get to meet him. This trip was one of the hardest I've done in a long time. Mainly because of the altitude getting to me and carrying a heavy pack. Looking back I'm glad I did it, but it will be awhile before doing another backpacking trip.

THE END
