IMG_7037.JPG3 viewsHidden high above and west of Scoop Lake, not yet visible, is Lonesome Lake. On the descent, I meet two women inquiring about the cross-country route I have just traversed. They plan to go out the same way I have just come in.

IMG_7038.JPG3 viewsI establish camp just on the western shore of Hummock Lake, just north of the stream flowing in from Hidden Lake. My closest neighbors are on the opposite side, just north of the outflow stream. I am surprised how many people are back here this late in the year.
