Map Notes:
Just an over view of where were were. This map doesn't show the trails, only the locations of where we parked, Stewart Lake and where the trail head ended at the Cowles camp ground. From there it's about a mile back to where we were parked.

I could have just camped here...
This was my first back packing trip! I was told I was not allowed to use the term "Death March", so I won't! Actually I had a great time and saw
some beautiful country and wild life. The trip started about 1 mile North of the Cowles camp ground and ended at the camp ground. We hiked in on
Friday and back out on Sunday. I'm sure it was an easy hike for my buddy Curtis but by the time we reached Stewart Lake, I was done! But, needless
to say, it was well worth it. I can't wait to go back. Maybe next time, we'll go up to Lake Katherine.
We couldn't have asked for better weather. The light, on again off again rain made the trip up as pleasant as you could want. Nice and cool at night and
warm enough during the day to shed your jacket.

This doe had a very young fawn following her. In this shot she stopped after crossing the trail and was waiting for the fawn to catch up.

Still a stream this far up. It becomes a very beautiful river just a mile or two down stream.

This is where the trail head starts/stops. By this point, my feet were killing me and I had begun to use that term I was forbidden to use. "Death March"
