A gorgeous 3-day, 2-night backpacking trip. We went up the Catwalk, turned onto South Fork Whitewater Creek, then East Fork Whitewater Creek, then up over the pass and down Winn Canyon (De Loche Trail--a gazillion switchbacks down) to Whitewater Creek again. We camped at Devil's Elbow, (where we saw a BEAR spying on us from just a few yards away, up on the side of the hill!) and second night we camped down in Winn Canyon. It was very damp and rainy the second night.

Some beta notes: So far I am not very good at uploading routes. Also, I posted ONLY my moving time as shown on my GPS. I did not post ANY of my stopped time (whether camping or resting.) Route log shows 36 miles, but we hiked only 24.2. (Hope 5500 AEG is correct. There are many, many ups and downs on this hike, so it probably is correct.)
