With high temps, biting black flies, and wildfire smoke, we cut this trip short after two nights but still had a great time in this scenic location.
Packwood Lake is a great early season backpacking option if you can find a good weather window. Even though the forecast called for rain every day, we lucked out and only had a brief period of bad weather.
Two night backpacking trip at Goat Rocks via Snowgrass and Lily Basin trails
Three night backpacking trip in the Snowgrass Flats/Lily Basin area in Goat Rocks Wilderness with day hikes to Goat Lake and a short loop with the Bypass Trail.
For this three night backpacking trip, we started at the Snowgrass trailhead and hiked in to the junction with the Lily Basin trail, then setup our tents at one of the many campsites in the Alpine Camp area.
