Quiet and great views

Need a backpack permit and reservation. It's a little over 4 miles to get to. Not a ton of foot traffic makes it that far so it's pretty quiet. Great view of Mt Moran. Trapper lake has some beavers and pretty mellow. On top of the hill at the site gives you another great view. There is a Bear Box for food storage here.
