Great trip and write up

Looks like a good time alone in the wilderness. Lots of great pics. Wildflowers, peaks, and water: you've got it all. As a side note, I wondered if in Eagles Nest/Gores there is no alpine fire rules in that wilderness, or rules against having them against rocks. I like the pic... just spawned a question for me. Great share, I appreciate it.

I think I remember...

you asking me about Duck Lake a few years ago. Amazing place isn't it! Glad you were able to finally get there. Smart for returning back over Kneeknocker Pass...unlike what I did in 2010. I hope no one ever has to experience the Black Creek drainage ever again lol. Awesome photos as well! I missed Bubble Lake on our trip so I'll have to head back. Cheers!

Re: I think I remember...

Matt,
Your photos of Duck Lake were the inspiration for this trip. I tried it in late September 2011, but had to turn back, because of heavy rain and snow above timber line. I was cold and drenched and very unhappy.
And, no, there was no way I was going down via Black Creek - I read about your misery there.
