DSCF0499.JPG4 viewsOn my way out, I met a gal near Sliderock Lake, leading a pack of high school age kids, that this route is referred to as "Cheese Grater Pass". I'm thinking she may have been with Sun Valley Trekking, as a quick search turned up there site as the only reference using this name for this route between Big Boulder Lakes, and Boulder Chain Lakes.Oct 18, 2018

DSCF0489.JPG3 viewsI have what must be the "primo" camp spot to myself. I has been stocked with plenty of wood, in the event I catch some trout. It is now almost 6 pm, so I have plenty of time to set my hang for the food, get the tent set up, pump water, fish, and make some dinner-- in the light!Oct 18, 2018
