Lake 8733, Sawtooths, August 2012
http://www.pfamily.org/pages/lake_8733_2/index.html
Lake 8733 Below Mt. Cramer, Sawtooths. August 21 - 23, 2012. 2012 was a good year in that I was able to fit in two backpacking trips! The first was to White Clouds. And this one was in the Sawtooths. We did the typical 'hike in Friday morning, play Saturday, hike out Sunday afternoon'. There were many cars in the (new) Hell Roaring trailhead which was a bit discouraging. But our arrival at the lake found no other visitors; yet another lake to ourselves on an August weekend.
