After the Salmo Loop I drove to Gypsy Meadows to spend the night. That place brings back good memories of trailwork parties with Conservation Northwest, the Mountaineers, the Backcountry Horsemen, and the North Idaho Saddle Mule Club. Doing trailwork with the BCH and NISMC is the best! It's not just that they pack the trail tools in for the hikers--it's that those guys know how to cook! Every time we did trailwork with that crew I actually gained weight despite the tough work.
This time there were no horse or mule people camping in the meadow; it seemed pretty sad to see a jeep near the creek and the high-lead lines empty. I climbed in the tent soon after it got dark and the next thing I knew it was morning! I couldn't believe how soundly I slept!
I had a leisurely breakfast and then headed down to Sullivan Lake to hike the lakeshore trail. I started at Noisy Creek, hiked to the far end, followed the Sullivan Lake Interpretive Trail Loop, and then returned on the lakeshore trail.
Today's mileage: 9 miles
