On August 8, 2021 I embarked on a 7 days/6 nights backpacking trip with my niece and brother-in-law. This is one last vacation before the niece starts high school.
Unlike glory days of past such as seen on this article, campgrounds are all in various degrees of disrepair. There is no tap water. On this trip we brought everything we need to survive 7 days, and have rely on own filter for hydration.
Water was a serious challenge at the Sunrise campground. We didn’t stop at one of sunrise lakes to take water in from 2.3 miles away, so we had to scrounge for water from a puddle a mile north. Thanks to the nice lady that was having lunch at the campground on Wednesday, August 11. She happened to have traveled past this water source on her way south from the Cathedral Lake.
