7/30

At Seavy Pass this morning--gorgeous hidden lakes East of the "windless, pristine" pond on the trail 0.5 miles from the Pass Summitt...Several beautiful small benches on the way up with a great amount of greenery. Incredible views. Smoke seems to have blown over, so no more haze for awhile?
Finally there seemed to be very few .mil aircraft flying over last night for the first time in a couple hundred miles of designated wilderness and Park backcountry. Saw 15 shooting stars-clear clear night. Woke up around 2am-couldn't sleep for some reason, and reveled in watching the night sky play out it's scenes with great pleasure. Several deep canyons to descend and climb today---each 1500 to 2000 ft of climbing/descending at around 7-9k ASL.
