Great Spot for setting out backpacking

we started here on a 3 day trip and took advantage of the vault toilets. From here we set off on the Swift Creek trail that ascends quickly. the Yellowstone trail however goes through a dense tunnel of forest for quite a few miles.

This is one of the ways to approach Kings Peak but the round trip mileage is around 40, so it is by no means short. if you've only got a day or two at the campground I would recommend Swift over Yellowstone due to the great views and a plethora of lakes within a short distance.
