Backpacking Twin Lakes 2011

A trip that had taken about a year to put together almost fell apart last minute, but was saved by a friend's father volunteering to tag along as well made it work. This was a trip that I had done about 3 years earlier with my dad, brother, and friends. This time around it was Katie, Mariah, her father, and I delving into the Bull of the Creek Wilderness. The trail head is located on the north side of Elk Lake. It is 6.5 mile through greatly varied and beautiful terrain. The hike was great and once we had arrived everyone was going into the Second lake to cool off from the warm August weather we were experiencing per Oregon's usual weather. We then set to building a fire which we talked around it for quite a few hours. Then everyone was off to sleep. Then around 2 AM I awoke to yelling as Mariah has lost her way back to camp after going to the bathroom and was wondering on the other side of a hill away from camp. This was resolved by Katie and I turning on flashlight thus making it easier for her to find the campsite. Then the next morning we sadly had to begin our trek out of the Wilderness and back to Elk Lake where my dad and brother had camped and had done some kayaking. 9/**/-9/**/2011 

Likability 9.5/10 Great place; and the length of the trail deters those who aren't there just to enjoy nature.
