Here's our itinerary
for this 3-day backpacking trip:
On the first day we arrive at the campground, we would start
with a traverse to Anthozoan
Mountain, then a traverse to Brachiopod
Mountain. On the second day, our planned trip would be an
ascent to Mt. Richardson,
a traverse to Pika Peak,
and another traverse to Ptarmigan
Peak. Our third day plan unfortunately didn't happen due
to an unforgiving weather. If you must know, it was an ascent
to Mt. Redoubt. |

warm. Very promising.

the area as well, about 6kms away from Hidden Lake Campground.
