Trip Map

Packard Lake was another Dad, Lad and puppy dog trip but at the end of the regular backpacking season. We were fortunate to be able to grab one of the last decent weekends of the year before things started getting into the Winter mode. Due to the slightly chill temperature of the evening and morning we built a fire to live out our pioneer lusts.

Me with a pole sticking out of my back standing on the Northern shore of Packard Lake. There is really nothing significant about this photo, but then again there is nothing significant about any of these photos:)

Just a few yards south of Packard lake can be found the North Rim of the East Fork of Upper Duchense River. This view point is awesome and affords a lot of high country viewing.

Not far from Packard is Wyman Lake, another body of water that would be fun to do an overnighter at.
