    Perfectly timed to see wildflowers everywhere! Could not believe they were just popping off in August. Douglas lake was a great spot to camp and less busy than Mirror lake below eagle cap. Would love to spend more days lake hopping and day hikes. Gorgeous!

Sleep at Douglas or Mocassin. Also break it up and sleep at 6 mile meadow. That river spot by the meadow is sweet.
