I'm waiting for a few pictures from hike 11, so I moved ahead to hike 12. This was our final hike this trip.

Hope you enjoy it.

Another great hike and report. I haven't yet made it up to that area. Probably because of the 16 mile length. smile1.gif But you have inspired me to put it on my list. Looking foward to the Chasm lake report.

Fantastic report and pictures, soatley. A great way to finish up what looks like an amazing trip. I had been hoping to make it to Lions/Snowbank this summer, but had to cut it out due to weather and some travel plans changing. Hoping to make it up there next trip...

Remember too, if you're willing to use the camping trail and bypass Ouzel Falls, you can save about 1.5 miles round trip. Still a full day at 14.5 miles, every little bit helps.

I'm sure you'll both enjoy this one. Wild Basin is a beautiful area, and it's good to get beyond Ouzel Falls if you've got the time and energy.

I wonder who could have done that. whistling.gif

Great report for Snowbank lake by the way.

Cool report and photos. When you shoot that many photos, do you have trouble remembering which ones are what? Anyway, you rock! That is one long day of hiking.
