I had my GPS with me and we finally found the original trail after a 3 mile cross country hike, up and down watersheds... ugh. So, on our first day we only went 1.5 miles on the trail. The rest of the hike was a little harder than we were anticipating because we had to make up for lost time. The hike was beautiful and there was lots of creeks and springs all along the way.
We passed several places where the snow hadn't melted yet, but the weather was actually very nice and warm. It was breezy the whole time, but stayed in the 70s and 80s. It got chilly at night, but still very pleasant.
On the second day, we saw some elk which was nice since we hadn't seen any wildlife until then.. not even squirrels and not even many birds. Hmm... maybe we made too much noise...
I wore the wrong shoes so by the 3rd day, I was hurting pretty bad. The water in the creek where we spent that night was wonderful. This was our favorite camping spot.
