We headed out from Denverish after sister's nurse night shift was over to try to secure a spot on the side of the dirt road allowed for parking, reminiscent of the Tonto, Rye era or the Fossil - rolling ice chest days. These cars would be from the people later parking their daypacks at Lost Lake but not any further.
It all starts with an old road hike, pretty much until the split for Woodland/Jasper.
After that it's a a rainy, haily trail up to King Lake, whereabouts you opt for a more tree covered camp spot a hair back down the hill near a pretty unnamed lake. Luckily this little lake is a prettier camp spot than the typical mostly rocky sided blue bowl of King. Your rain gear and tent are really getting tired after almost a full second day of rain. The girls stayed mostly in the tents and eventually I said screw it and went out hiking in the fog and showers. I was able to get around pretty easily to the upper little lakes and it was worth it all just to move around.
The next day, the sun finally came out for a bit and we celebrated with ceremonial wringing of the socks, shirts, lower sleeping bags, etc. Hairs was did, photos were taken, mooses shoo'd, and then we made a break in the break for our next area.
