This was such a fun spot for dispersed camping! The hike was definitely a difficult one so some experience in elevation is needed. I believe the exact elevation on the site is 9,770. My husband and I are still learning how cold the mountains get in late summer/early fall so we felt unprepared when night came (waking up a few times shivering) but that did not ruin our great adventure! The creek was basically right next to camp site so you get lulled to sleep by the water. We took our mini camper stove to boil water for food and drink. Really good trails/views. Lots of silly squirrels here, chattering and dropping pine cones at you. But the best part was waking up to an adult moose and young across the creek eating. We cautiously approached for a look, however once they saw us they gave us a "snort check" and began to clomp towards us. We of course turned back to camp immediately to give them a respectful distance, but it was the coolest moment on the trip. (Be aware moose are aggressive especially when young are around.) We are eager to go back to this spot some day next year, maybe in mid summer/early summer next time.
