The End of the Backpack 12

It is 4.5 miles from Pawnee Pass  to our pickup point at Brainard Lake on another great CCC trail (from the times of FDR).

We hiked down past Lake Isabelle (shown) and then along the one mile length of Long Lake arriving at Brainard Lake where our ride was awaiting us. It was on this trail that Bob picked up the piece of granite that he dedicated for us for us.

It was the time of our young lives.
