One mile in... and we reach the Wilderness boundry |

Change of plans! too much creek to cross - off to the jewel lakes, no more Smith Lake. |

The Deer Creek crossing was a nice resting spot |
|
|
|

|
This is the bridge we crossed to get to that nice resting spot |

Spotted this nifty camp on the way out. |

Also spotted this nice waterfall soon after. |

Other than the mountainous skyline, Morris Meadows is a highlight of the trip. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
More meadow... |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
