Hello there. Just responding to let you know Greg (gnwatts) passed away last year. I imagine someone else on here has some knowledge about that area though and may chime in.

Welcome! Glad to have ya!

Camped among some larches over the weekend. No edits to the photo; it was the most golden sunrise I've ever had in the backcountry!

Great report! Cool to see and read about all the wildlife you saw. I'd have been nervous with a bison walking around camp too.

Someone posted this one (below) a couple weeks ago! They talk about a flash flood earlier than 9/7. I haven't followed the weather down there super closely, but it seems there could have been multiple big precip events...

That's an impressive patch of Calypso orchids! Great photos.

Going to add these to my list! Thank you! I'm currently reading and enjoying The Overstory, which is fictional. Starts as a bunch of vignettes that are all tied together by their relations to trees and nature, and they slowly come together. Another Pulitzer winner. It's been really great so...

Yeah my photo was 2019. I noticed the lower water level in more recent satellite imagery and didn't realize the dam was breached! All yours if you wanna take it!

Cane Wash?

Fanrastic looking trip! I just got back from a trip covering some of the same ground. That is an impressive route you did.

Fantastic looking trip! And you hit all the requisite stops on both ends as well. I really enjoyed those shots of the swans.

Love to see a new post from you here, Dave! I had wondered what route you had done from the bits I saw on Instagram. Agreed wholeheartedly with your closing thoughts.

Welcome! Any trips planned for the rest of the year?

I never saw any elk in the Uintas in all my times up there. Heard one bugling in mid September a bit below Naturalist Basin once. Also up near Clyde Lake around the same time of the year.

Great trip and nice photos! Good choice on the shuttle route. I love the stretch of trail along Shoshone Creek. This one made me laugh. When I stayed there, it was at the end of a long day with rain, snow, and cold wind. That spur trail felt interminable to me at that point.

We are finally getting some of that rain up here tonight. Should continue on and off through tomorrow also. I think it will help a lot with the nearby fires. Not so sure about the Oregon and Washington ones though.

Bridger Ridge, Saddle Peak?

Purple Air is excellent. Thousands of real time sensors, averaged and updated every 10 minutes. While not a guarantee, higher AQI strongly correlates with lower visibility due to smoke. Of course, air quality can change dramatically over the course of a few hours, but I find purple air to be the...

I came across this through a news article this morning. I had read a bit about this abandoned operation a while back, but this has a bit more information and is an interesting one to scroll through. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/6a6fe293fead4c94b2dbb89fe18f4243
