Lake LaCrosse, LaCrosse Basin & Staircase Rapids — Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024

Backpacked to LaCross Basin and back from the Staircase trail head. Spend first night at Home Sweet Home, second at Marmot Lake and third ay Two Bears. The basin with the three lakes is stunning. Great colors from the water and so many berries. The hike to the basin is through woods. I prefer more open trails. A crew from Grey Wolf just finished cleaning this trail and it was incredibly smooth. No jumping over trees anymore. Another hiker saw one bear at LaCross lake. If you have the stamina camp at Hart Lake.
