Sawtooth Backpack

Jolie and I planned a 7 day 54-mile backpack in the Sawtooth Mountians in central Idaho. This is our first sunset at Alice Lake

Our first camp at Alice Lake (yes, two people can fit in that tent without suffocating one another)

Sunrise on Alice Lake

The water in Alice Lake was so clear we could see these shelves and channels below the water

Wildflowers were still great at the higher elevations

At Cramer Divide. Was a little smoky this day and there was a dark cloud approaching

This was our sunset view at our camp on Cramer Lakes

This was our sunrise view on Cramer Lakes

We woke up early to watch sunrise over Baron Lakes and Warbonnet Peak, but the sun didn't co-operate to well. This is one of the few shots I got with sun on the peak

Our last night was spend at beautiful Sawtooth Lake - this is our first view of the lake and surrounding mountains

More wildflowers - these are columbine

One more sunrise view of Sawtooth Lake.  We hiked out to the car this day. When we got to the car we saw a cooler that someone had forgotten in the parking lot - it just happened to have cold water in it and several beers!!! Who says there is no backpacking god?
