7/27 & 7/28

Backpacking trip in the Sawtooth Wilderness of Idaho. Went about 10 miles exploring the first day and then 7 miles straight out of the mountains on the second. Elevation gain of 1800 feet over those 7 miles ... ended up camping at a lake that was around 8270 elevation. Got a pretty bad night's sleep in the mountains, not ideal, but the quality of sleep can only be so good sleeping in a tent. This hike had some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen and was absolutely worth it. I really enjoyed taking my fiance out on this; she had never done anything like it. We had a great time and I will remember this hiking trip forever.
