Tim, Raina and Frances continued onto Wonder Lake, as did Warren, Bill and Liam a little later. Mike, Dawn, Jennifer, Skip, Pam and Scott stayed to explore further.

We spent the next few hours wandering high meadows and waterways looking for upland sandpiper and white-tailed ptarmigan, which we did not find.

The hiking was lovely in the cool moist air. On our return bus trip we saw five more grizzlies including a sow digging for a ground squirrel with her two cubs watching her.
We all reassembled at the wilderness access Center and had a fun dinner at the Salmon Bake Café.
