I have also gone with 3 Peaks Outfitters out of CleElum, into the Alpine Lakes wilderness. They are both good outfits, but even though 3 peaks is more expensive, I thought it was much more personal. I would go with either one of them again, I have nothing bad to say about either outfitter, but I liked 3 Peaks area better and they have better equipment. If you need to rent a wall tent and stove, they are free with Early Winters, but old and the stove is tiny. 3 Peaks rents them for about $150, but the tent is really nice and the stove is pretty good too. I would have to say that overall, I had a much better experience with 3 Peaks, but I am definately not knocking Early Winters. If you have any questions about these outfitters or drop camps in general, feel free to pm me, I did a lot of research before both trips, so I may have good information for you. I also learned alot on the first trip that really helped on the second trip. Good luck.

Easiest way to find them is to visit the WOGA website; www.woga.org All of the members are listed along with links to their contact information and websites.
