18.5 miles
Bowman Lake Car Campground
Today was more gorgeous walking with perfect temperature and lots of wildflowers.
At the top of Brown Pass an alternate route heads off to Boulder Pass. That was closed because a couple of grizzlies were feeding on a carcass!
Brown Pass
Bowman Lake, where I’m headed, can be seen in the distance. It’s way down.
The trail was a little over grown at times.
The last 8 miles were along Bowman Lake. The trail was in the trees more than I would have liked but it was easy going.
I arrived at the car campground and found the host. They don’t have a hiker/biker site. She pointed to the handicapped site and told me to take that one. For free! I was probably limping and looked disabled. I felt it. But as usual taking off my pack and cleaning up made me feel back to normal.

Gorgeous country!! So glad the weather is good for you.
Lucky so far
Glad to see that bearspray readily available. Thanks for the pics. Lovely!
So beautiful! Two bears feeding on a carcass!!! They would probably ignore a skinny hiker. Thanks for the wonderful photos Nancy.
A little light bushwhacking to go along with a sunny temperate day. Not so bad!
