Must see

If you’re doing backcountry in the canyon, this site is a must. It was our third night entering from Cascade Creek, but you could also enter at Ice Lake for a much shorter hike. Bring your deet and get ready for a magical night in the trees at the waters edge. There is a ton of space for multiple tents and a great fire pit/bear hang set up. We waded in the water to cool down in the day and slept soundly in the evening. Pack in pack out and must have a permit for overnight. Do yourself a favor and stop here :)
