Day 3: finally into the West Elks #Wilderness as we climbed the very steep trail beside South Castle Creek. Breccia towers all over the place and steep, overgrown slopes. It was startling how few people make it up here given the relative ease of access and spectacular scenery.
Set up camp in the only level spot; a campsite designed for about two tents, but we crammed in 8. Dinner amongst the flowers down at the creek and an amazing sunset.
Preparations for a big day tomorrow.
