Also, nobody was at the trailhead I used to enter, but as soon as hunting season came, MY did people show up. Horse trailers, hikers, more people hunt up there than you realize. Not bear hunters, not even really that many high buck hunters, but the elk hunters are thicker than you think and don't give you a lot of indication that they're up there until opening day rolls around.
I'm REALLY glad i didn't shoot anything in there. Its a long ways.
