A beautiful day for a long hike. Sunny at portions with nice cloud cover to keep things from getting too hot. Looked like storms in the distance.
This is a great loop with lots of opportunity for scrambling in the midsection. Probably some of the most expansive views of the central Idaho mountains. The only downside is the bushwhack off of first peak. My watch ran out of battery at first peak, which explains the partial track. Total distance was about 14 - 15 miles.
