...my short list the next time I make it back to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. I really enjoyed my 2 days in that area back in 13' and had been considering Daniel that trip on my last day - didn't have the legs though. Thanks for posting. Awesome photos of an awesome area.
I was able to go to Mt. Daniel for the first time this last July. We too did an overnight (Pea Soup Lake) and climbed the Daniel Glacier. We had great views just until the very top so it's nice to be able to see your photos and views I wasn't able to get such as looking down at Pea Soup Lake. Really enjoy the fall colors as well.
You mention having some pu erh tea for supper. I am curious about that as I have never heard of it. Perhaps it is an abreviation or something like that. Sounds like a great trip!
Thanks for writing such a nice report on the hike. Looks like I need to make it up for an overnight this summer! Lucky day with that beautiful weather.

Re: Nice report and beautiful picsPu erh is a Chinese tea unfamiliar to most westerners. I simply love it! It's like the fine wine of the tea world. Here is an informative link.
