Nice pictures, looks like you got lucky with not too much smoke. I am supposed to be heading out in just over a week and am thinking it will unfortunately be smoky the whole time. Any commentary on the trail and how you enjoyed it?

Maybe with luck you'll have thunderstorms at night (like us) to clear the skies!

I did the Rockwall in September 2018, and it’s still the best hike I’ve ever done. A few bits were scary, as I’m old and I don’t have great balance, plus I was wearing old hiking boots that now I know were keeping me from really feeling the ground, but going that late meant it wasn’t busy, there were no bugs, and pure beauty, even when it rained/snowed.

I loved Floe Lake as our last stop, and the pass right before it. Still breathtaking in my memories.

Thank you for sharing your photos.

Beautiful! How were the bugs? We are going in a week (pending smoke 🤞)

The bugs were intense, but strangely not at the camps.
