Topographical Route, about 50 miles of trail in all, ranging between 5200' to
8700'.
What remained of the group at Minam Lake early on day three, ready to head to
Steamboat Lake -- a 12+ hour one-day hike.
Hiking along Copper Creek on the Copper Creek Trail we enter a lush, scenic 8000' meadow
surrounded by snow covered peaks on three sides.
Boys taking a breather at Swamp Lake late in the day after about 12 hours of
hiking, with Pepper ready to go
and wondering what all the lollygagging is about.
Looking back at Steamboat Lake, with our campsite along the foreground point and
the lake continuing beyond it to the abandoned trail that descended the ridge in
the background.
The boys enjoyed having Pepper along! Day four was play day at Steamboat
Lake.
A small portion of Minam Meadows in the background, which attracts herds of deer
and elk. Day five.
Scott and Pepper at Wilson Pass on day five, after climbing out of the valley in
the background. |
