Ardeth Lake in the Sawtooths.  We met a Wilderness Ranger

here.  She had been backpacking on her patrol for a few days.

We had an extra T-Bone steak which she accepted to eat with us.

She even took a picture of it first because she said no one would

believe she got to eat steak in the back country.

Ingeborg Lake in the Sawtooths

Horses enjoying a rest for the night and good grass.

Grass is hard to come by in a lot of the Wilderness Area
