Although, we were a little late for sockeye or early run silvers, we did have beautiful weather with excellent sight seeing with some excellent cutthroat fishing in Salmon Creek.

Beautiful area! One of my favorite places in the world. Trail needs some serious work though.

Very nice cabin!
There is actually no oil stove anymore, just a wooden. You don’t have to bring any fuel.
