Itinerary description

Steep ride up to campsite with beautiful blue little lake I swam in. Continued onto divide trail into the Wilderness. Reached a summit ridge with beautiful 360° view of cabinets. Rode divide trail back to iron pasture or something like that to middle bear lake but it has lots of bugs and isn’t as strikingly blue as mini lake. Dismounted off horse once we hit huckleberry territory and picked berries walking down.
