I'll let others add in what happened before we showed, but here is what we got to experience

So Nat and I were late to the party due to getting off work late. So we took a small shortcut out of Kellogg ID. Views hit almost immediately

We made it to camp for sunset, but didn't take any pictures was we wanted to set up camp with as much light as we could.

Next day @Codeman led us through some of the best forest service roads Northern Idaho has to offer. (The photos are out of order... Deal with it )
