One of, if not the, best backpacking trips I've ever done. Plenty of elevation gain/loss throughout the days which makes for a challenging journey. Alpine lakes, old growth forest, snow fields, bears, deer, huckleberries, views, rivers, glaciers, the list goes on. Competitive permit process so get your application in around March. Cannot stress enough how worth it this trail is.

This loop was epic. Unless you want to end with 3 miles uphill make sure you start on the correct trailhead and go clockwise. Breathtaking views, old growth cedar, and an optional scramble to Little Snowy Top make for a unique and fun backpacking trip. We did it in two 10 mile days and it was perfect. Highly recommend.
