Emigrant Wilderness ~ August 2007 - My third (and counting) visit to this wonderful place, this time for 5 days. I made home at Powell Lake, Wire Lake (2 nights), and High Relief Valley. On my layover day I tramped to the confusing-to-find Karls Lake and was very happy to have experienced it.

Read about my adventure, the report describes the places I visited, some interesting people I met, directions w/GPS of key locales, review of some new equipment, and some good eats before and after.

Top, then left to right: Karls Lake, High Relief Valley, Alpine Gentian, Alternate locomotion, Downed tree root, Alpine Daisy and Bee, Wood Lake morning reflection, Bouquet of DYCs, and just another nice mud hole.
