A fully on-trail day, first with a downhill to our low point of the trip, then back uphill and on a spur trail to Bernice Lake.  There were several people camping nearby at Bernice Lake.


Journal Entry:  Not as cold last night—down to 36F.  All trail today, down to Lewis Creek first, then up to Bernice Lake at 10,200 ft.  Got here around 3:00, took a walk and saw a bear on the other side of the lake!  Saw our first other people since Tuesday on the high trail before reaching Lewis Creek.  Saw quite a few on Lewis Creek trail, including a large horse train.  Looks like another tent nearby here at Bernice Lake.
