Spent 4 days backpacking 45 miles with about 11.5k ft of elevation gain. Really loved the area. Bear cans are required for food and scented item storage. All parts of the wilderness require permits, with the most in demand areas being online only.
Unfortunately we had to clean up a lot of improperly disposed human waste, toilet paper, and food garbage. Human (and dog) poop spreads disease to both wildlife and other hikers (you do not want to get norovirus in the backcountry, you'll very likely need a SAR extraction). So please, pack out what you pack in! Dig your 6-8in deep cat hole at least 200 ft from camp and water sources. Pack out all TP and wipes. WAG bags are highly recommended in fragile alpine areas.
Hope others are enjoying some awesome fall hikes!
