On Way to Chamberlain Basin -- August 9-19, 2008
This turned out to be the most difficult day of the trip. Not only was it a long distance, but we ended up having to cross a nearly
10000 foot ridge. We had planned on camping mid-way, but the lack of water meant the only choice was to push on. Don't
care to repeat this one any time soon.

![]() The cabin, and this mine, are obviously remanants of days gone by. |
![]() We came out at one point onto this beautiful, but dry, high meadow. Had there been some water available, I would have spent the night here. |
![]() We finally re-join the trail. It's whereabouts had been a mystery for quite a while. |

![]() Plod, plod, plod. This was one he-- of a grunt. Up to just short of 10000 feet. |

![]() Doesn't this bloody trail ever get to the top?? |

![]() Surely we must be almost there!?!?! |
![]() Finally the top. Now we get to go back down for about two weeks! |
