This was one of several trips to the upper Cispus Basin in the Fall of 1975. Each of the trips started from Packwood and crossed a rickety old bridge over the Cispus River taking the Snowgrass Flat trail to the cutoff to the Pacific Crest trail. On each of the trips we camped above the cirque above the Cispus basin just below the PCT. I recently pulled our a number of my slides from those trips including a solo climb of Mt. Curtis Gilbert. I can post those if there is any interest.
I am posting a photo of one of our campsites above the cirque. I had scrambled up to the Packwood Glacier and composed this photo to include the beautiful wild flowers in the foreground. Does anyone else remember those wild flowers on the PCT in that area?
